Default 350z rear hatch questions.

I removed my Nismo V2 Wing & got the holes welded & the entire hatch repainted all for $622.35 The company did a great job covering the holes left behind from the spoiler and I only see one little minor problem area with the paint on one side of the hatch.

My question is the 350z hatch a weak part of the car that is more vulnerable to hail damage then the rest of the car?


After washing my 350z I notice alot of small looking dents on the hatch that only can be seen by a certain way the sun hits the car, really gotta be looking hard to even notice it. Didn't notice any dents when I got the car back.........but it seems i'm finding more each day it seems. Note: You wont see the dents in the 2nd pic.

It did hail one day before i took my car in to get painted.

looks fine to me. any part of the exterior would be vulnerable not just a particular place.

It looks fine to me. If there are dents then nobody would know except you so don't worry about.

The entire hatch is aluminum so the most vulnerable parts would obviously be the thinnest section

If it's a big issue for you why not just take it back to the painter and have them take a look?
