Frame Damage: Should I be worried? **PICS**

Shitty pics.. but pics none the less.

Found this today. Never noticed it until now. Should I be worried at all?



I'll try and get some better pics in a little bit.

if you're talking about the two rails that run the length of the body.. don't worry about them, I've never seen an FC with them NOT mangled...

those are just jack points. Usually someone jacked on the car in the very back part where's it's too thin and that smooshes them.

That looks more like you ran over something

Lol... hold on, I got ya beat on that!!



coincidentaly, I'm not the least bit worried, and I have twice the damage you have. Some ignorant fools not knowing a good jackstand place is all...

EDIT: *looks at own picture* LOL guess I'm the ignorant fool! Own3d by myself, lol.

Actually, if you look at the owners and factory service manuals, neither recommend jacking the chassis at those points.

People who do not know the proper jacking points tend to crush the chassis frame rails.  Damage from all the pics doesn't tend to affect the car that much...well, let me put it this way, 99.44% of us aren't good enough drivers to feel the difference.
