OK so yesterday I was getting out of my car next to my parents trailer. Now normally I am very careful doing this but I was a bit heated and ended up nailing my door on a piece of metal sticking off the trailer.

It looks like someone took a ballpin hammer and just pinged my car right below the door handle. It is a very small circular dent(maybe 3/4 of an inch diameter) with a chip of paint out of the middle. Now the reason I am sharing this is to vent but also to wonder how much this may be to fix??

I am going to get my front lip and stache painted soon, i figured i could just ask the body shop to check it out, you folks think its worth adding into the job?

ouch!

if it bothers you (which judging from the fact that you posted about it i'd say it does) then it's worth it

pretty close to the shelton line, there arent many coupes in my area, and i keep mine hidden from the street due to some shady activity in the neighborhood recently. (freakin state bought a house in our neighborhood and turned it into a halfway house, our house has been broken into twice now since then)

I's sorry and i feel your pain. When i got my first scratch i got so mad. I was at a KFC drive through by my GF's house and i buzzed the curb and curbed my stockers, and Gashed(not scratched) my mudflap. I called up the Stealership and they said they are $70 for two, of course you can't get only one.
