the 'dingstopper' came in the mail today!

it looks like it may perform as advertised.. the material kind of feels like that cottony foam that sometimes covers electronics (like a computer monitor) when its in its box.. i am not about to rubbing it all over the paint, but i don't think it will scratch if something rubs up against the car (actually the thing doesn't even move on the car at all once its on the car (it attaches with magnets that are also covered in fabric). the foam part is about 1" thick
i think it will work great for its intended purpose of keeping dings off the car while in my apartment parking lot

With that installed the car it screams "KEY ME". Its a cool idea but i think its going to draw unwanted attention.
Like I go out of my way to part RIGHT next to lambos,corvettes pimped out civics tha take up two spots in the middle of nowhere. I just do that to annoy, but guys out for no good might eye your car first because they know your affraid of damage. Now its in your parking garage perhaps its different but use that in a public parking lot and your calling open season on your car to little idiots.

paolo.. yea i figured you were joking but you know.. its the internet and most of you have never met me in person.. better to make it 100% clear i'm legit rather than have ppl wonder if i'm a dumb 14yr old kid from idaho posting BS :)

i'm pretty sure he does because he tries his best to give good space between our cars.. its not his fault (ie i don't think he TRIES to open his door into my car).. its a tight garage, and when he has to put his kid in the back its understandable that the door might get flung open by accident..

dude you're telling me!!! i totally want one of those spots.. but everyone else in the building wants one and its based on how long you've been there.. so ppl who moved into the building right when it was built have dibs on those spots
yea i have to reverse in all the time.. i wouldn't be able to get out of the car other wise. its an annoying garage but its 1000000x better than street parking
