Damn...sorry to hear another vandalism story on this forum.
But...as said before, if it isn't creased, you may be able to pop that mother right out.

Really try the poping out. My friend's Ranger had the whole passenger door dented in and one day he shut the door and it popped back out! Can't even tell it was there either.

Get a DING KING... it glues this little pad in the middle of the door to PULL out instead of push, then u just peel the glue off after... When I drove my dads car into my moms van, i used it. The van was like new, the car had wrinkes in the fender, the KING got most of em out, but i took the lining out and bashed it from the inside for a while. Now theres only a slight variation... If the paints ok, u should be able to fix it.

We have a place around here called "painless dent removal" - the professional "ding king" guys. They did good work pulling a couple dents out of a bmw hood of ours using special suction cups etc.. they also buffed it. Bill was less than $100 canadian.

Having a car you love as a daily driver sucks!
Seems like everyone is out to smash, ding and scratch it!
This month I'm starting an "Intro to Auto body repair and paint" class just for FUN!
My car has a few dings and some flaws in paint that I would want to fix myself.

yeah i am totally with you... my respect for my car, would probably drop if it werent a daily driver as well... in my opinion a s.c daily driver, is awesome.. i really wish that i could get it fixed for under 100, ut every place i called is claiming 150 or 180... which is bs, especially if all they do is use suction cups... what bs, guys i am really bummed, i guess i know how imports feel when there bumpers are hanging off their car, body panels are dented... etc.... well guys i need some cheering. help me out

Where I live the guy's called the Dent Wizzard. Stop by any used car lot & ask the manager who they use for repairing dents. Those guy's are incredable at what they do. After a repair, you would never even know the dent existed. I have alot of experience seeing what is capable as I used to work at a dealership. Good luck!

A good paintless dent repair guy will get most of it out. I assume thats what they were going to do to your car anyways for only $180. $180 is a little over 3 hours labor without any parts or paint, so Im guessing thats what they will do to it at the shop that gave you that estimate. PDR is amazing when done by a professional.

As far as the "Ding King" or whatever its called. If pulling dents out was that easy then why would there be any need for body shops anymore?
