|  Aluminum body panels that dent?
Does anyone make a set that are thin enough to show carnage? I know there are companies out there that make some already but they seem to thick for any sort of damage. I just like the look of "used" ;)

Get some foil roasting pans from the grocery store and some scissors and make some.

Carter fabs showed damage on my wraith. Painting them will show more damage also.

You could always just add your own "damage" using a small chisel and a hammer or something like that.

If you want that look, could you not just cut up an old tin can or a coffee can? Just got to town with a BB gun if you want damage.

I made my own body panels out of Al stock that i bought from Lowes. IIRC the stock was .025 thick. My panels show dents from hard contact with rocks and from rollovers. Maybe this will give you an idea of what thickness you should look out for. ETA: i made all of my panels from one piece of Item 128286, 24"x6" .025 Aluminum Sheet, $15.61 in my area.
