Ultra-light cloth body panels with a twist. Just wait till you see the "eyes" (~2:30).

Yeah. I'm also interested in the coping with wind and air pressures. Also small debris. Things like rocks kicked up would pose a much more serious threat than "oh man, my paint" i mean hell seems more like a rock would bounce off potentially violently sending it off somewhere else.
Also, some of the lightness to it is negated by the motors to move the skeleton.

Brilliant! Ever met Chris Bangle? Apparently, his farts form the basis for dozens of French perfumeries.
Didn't you hear? It only takes two hours to put the skin on. The skin could be removed, the space frame repaired, and a new skin put back on. Maybe I'm missing something, but that sounds easier/cheaper than repairing body panels. The body panel repair is a huge ***** of crash repair cost.

It needs less motors. The spoiler motor can go. as can the weird one between "hood" and fender. and the hood opening is trash, and needs no motors to make it work.
The good news is most designers who even have something new and different get a massive slap from engineers and more realistic people before anything hits production.
