anyone know how they have dentproof doors?

no dings and dents = awesome

maybe its something that can be modified to our doors?

 

A Saturn is made out of plastic. Kinda like Rubbermade, bounces back.

 

yup its like plastic. there was actually this one guy at my school who had one that nobody liked. everyone always kicked his doors in front of him. they just bounce back like nothing ever happened..

 

The bad part is that paint doesn't like to stick to plastic. My brother has one, like a 1995 or so, and he has had the front end painted a couple of times from rock chips.

 

polymer car hehe

 

can you crash a saturn?

 

hmmm the old Pontiac Transport, Olds Silhouette and the Chevy Lumina Euro or watever it was.. those had plastic panels... they got brittle after awhile... and they had problems

 

The plastic doors are terrible in an accident. His estimate was rediculously high, he took the money and bought an integra. Once the plastic sheet has buckled, you gotta buy a whole new sheet.

 

Heh, my friend was on the other end of the stick. He hit a saturn, and cracked a door. It cost like 4g to fix that door. Thats wack.

 

Actually I think plastic non-dent doors are an ingenius idea. The problem is that they don't absorb much force in a side collision.

 

The "skin" of a car is not made to absorb any force. In fact, there was a crash test run on a Camry, I believe, with all outer panels(sheet metal) removed, including the hood. The crash test dummies incurred the same amount of injury/force numbers.
