Have you heard of that paintless dent removal. They basically can take 2 or 3 huge suction cups and suck the dent right out of your door. They do it for all kinds of dents, just not creases. Check and see if there is anywhere near you that does it....

I don't think that dent is going to be a candidate for paintless removal. I think the paint is going to crack when it's pulled out. Worth the try though I guess... ------------------ -Steve '99 T-Red SVT #102 http://65.3.243.95 sholland991@home.com Moderator www.svtperformance.com

i think that that right there is grounds for manslaughter..... i've had to spend about $350 in the last year having much smaller dings and scrapes taken out.... i did catch one guy though, and boy did he wish he hadn't let that cart go.... that really sucks man, good luck getting it out.

I just had two small door dings removed this morning from the 'Tour. $65.00 total and one hell of a job to boot. I don't know if yours will qualify for that type of service, but it never hurts to find out. ------------------ JaToTulsa, OK jaysek@home.com 99 Contour SVT #143/2760 Modded to Taste 00 Corvette Coupe Modded to Haste

well consider yourself lucky, a few months ago, my mum got home from the supermarket in her 98 Mazda MPV, and i noticed the front left wing..... Someone in a big vehicle had driven OVER it. Lovely deep white scrapes in the paint, headlight ripped out of the front, bumper ripped loose, wind deflector out of whack.......
Not only did no one leave a note, or admit to it..... But my mum having come from the back of the van, had not noticed the damage till i pointed it out to her when she got home.......

People who do that to our cars suck!!!!! I had my SVT for a week. I went to Tuttle mall and when I walked out there it was. Someone put a nice dent in the rear passenger door w/a streak of blue paint. I even parked in BFE. I mean come on!! People just get in their car and drive away. My SVT is black, so after I wash and wax, you can see it anywhere you look. I owned a Focus for a very short time. My fiance and I were coming out of Kroger. Some lady thought that she could push her cart all the way across the lot and make it into the cart return. Yeah right. It swerved an hit the Focus smack dab on the side. And my car was parked 15 feet from the return. She started to walk away and I yelled at her. It didn't do much damage, but people just don't give a flyin f**k.

well the reason it's gonna cost that mush is because he has to make sure the reinforcement beam is ok. It has to be pulled, hammered, puttied, painted.
I trust this guy 100%. He even lets me order parts under his business. Maybe i have an excuss to find that SVT bumper now!
cheers
