It is not only for small chips as someone mentioned, although it is best intended for stars of around 1" or less. When I saw it done, no drilling was done either. A small high pressure cup was placed over the area and the arylic was injected. A small 'cap' of glass was then placed over the point of impact, and that's it. The results were not noticable on the cars that I saw it done on, but again I must stress that its area of application is limited (as the previous article mentioned). As far as whether its worth it, that's tough to say. If the damage area is small and your deductable is high, it may be the best alternative. Kurt D. Del Bene Bell Labs - WLB ...!homxa!delbene
