    Safe to wash the car?

    As some of you know my hood is a little crumpled from the accident, about .15 of an inch at the highest point. I want to take my car to the carwash but I dunno if it's safe to do so...should I just wait until my new hood comes in?

    Yeah but I'm still afraid of too much water getting into my engine bay Besides where I go they wash it by hand anyway No need to have frostbite :twisted:

    .15 of an inch is nothing, ur pretty much safe

    Our engines are sealed. I degreased and rinsed off my engine without having to cover anything up.


    I've got one love in my life. And my girlfriend's learned to live with it. Girlfriends come and go. Your ride is forever.

    Well I guess I have nothing to worry about The dang hood won't be in for another week...you'd think they kept this part in stock.
