i got a dent for Xmas

[johnny_d]

I think someone just backed into it and kinda "pushed" it in. Someone suggested using a small plunger to pull it out. Gonna try it when i go to homedepot. Any other suggestions? It is very noticible depending on the angle you look at it. Not a big one, thank God no major scratch, just a light mark. Still less than perfect

I don't see anything...

[johnny_d]

at the corner where the top piece and the bottom piece fit together you'll see a slight gap, that cuz it curved out but in this case got squished in.. The camera being 2D can't give that feeling of dented in

lol i think ur just freaking out

[SHIFT_COUPE]

All I see is a shiny rear quarter panel

Appears to be fairly minor. See what you can do with that yourself. Theres not even any paint transfer.

[SHIFT_2.5S]

I just wouldn't pay attention to it if I were you.

nahhh he knows its there. Too late now

I'd do the same

Just leave it. It doesn't look that bad. You might make it worse by trying to fix it.

[johnny_d]

can't help but look at it every single time i come out to the car.. this car has such a nice *** after all..... *ah*..... i don't want to make it worse that's why i ruled out trying to knock it from the inside out.

Hey Johnny, sorry to hear. Try getting some different quotes from the "paintless dent removal" guys. THey do miracles with that kinda stuff. It looks like a simple one to fix, hopefully you can find someone who would do it for a decent price.

I know that'd be bugging me too. Good luck!

[johnny_d]

yes, that would be my desperate attempt after trying the plunger are you going to try to make it for the Jan 13th meet in OC?

[GreyZone]

Is that Oceanside? I'm definitely gonna try...I still wanna ride in your 3.5 and hear the injen

that's Orange County, about 60 miles North of Oceanside

[GreyZone]

Yeah, Im gonna try and make it...hey, off topic I know but, did you ever change out your fogs? If so, with what, and how's the difference? I saw the thread where robert said he changed out his...

[johnny_d]

i have not changed them, cuz the weekend's been busy, my only free time is at night. The bulbs don't fit too tight so i'm gonna hav to try to add a bit of solder to it to make the contacts thicker and it's being too cold to work on it with the garage open at night so i'm gonna try this weekend ..... hopefully the bulbs weren't broken.

Are you actually going to use a toilet plunger? If you head to your nearest automotive store, they sell dent repair kits which come with a suction cup and instructions. I don't think a plunger is the way to go. Good luck!

[johnny_d]

not quite the toilet plunger, a smaller version

You get points for innovation.

[johnny_d]

not even that, it was suggested by the mechanic guy at my work it seemed to make sense since a little suction cup might not have enough power to pull it out

[generic808]

The dent repair suction cups are heavy duty. I think you should look into that as an alternative to your toilet plunger

I feel your pain.

[jdshift]

Does not appear to have damage, reagardless people hitting cars suck!!

[johnny_d]

here's the worse picture

[leeroy300]

ok now that sux , like someone above mentioned try the small dent kit ,it looks like it won't take much to pull it out . You may have to take it to a body shop after looking at the pic for a bit there is a small crease near the bottom of the dent . SUX I say

[D-Roll]

Damn dude that sux! I'd be pissed too
