Default My first dent :(

some idiot decided i didnt need a dent free car today and opened his car door into mine. i didnt see who did it, so im really pissed. i realize its just a car and **** will happen, but it sux when you cant control it

some of the paint is completly gone, so im afraid if i dont get it fixed, it will rust.

That's no match for Dent Wizard unfortunately. Looks like it'll need some filler and a paint job.

WOW! That looks like more than just a door hitting it once! Does it look like they did it several times?

Sorry to see this. Hope the repair comes out fine. Keep us posted.

i just went out and looked at it more. there is also a scuff on the front side of the side mirror.

now im thinking maybe they were backing out and had thier wheels turned to much and they actually hit my car.

also the mirror was folded in a little when i got into my car. i just didnt notice the scuff because it was so dark.

ouch, sorry to hear that man. That's everyone's nightmare. I have to be careful where I park as well. I'm extra prone to getting dings because I'm a teacher, and we park in the same lot as the parents do when they drop and pick up their kids. We get alot of traffic in the lot, and everyone's in a hurry to get in and out

That isn't a dent, its a crater!

This is what happens when you have a society that belives more in "rights" than "responsibilities." Blame FDR.

Anyone dents my Z is gettin':
A) Foot up A$$
B) Reciprication
C) Call the lawyers.

I have a few friends....

O U C H !!! I'm sorry to see that dent. I feel your anger, frustration, and pain man.

Sometimes people are malicious and will slam their doors into a nice car on purpose. Someone hocked a big loogie on my nice Z28 's driverside window while I was in the grocery store, a few years back.

went and got it somewhat fixed today through a referal from a friend. it now looks like this ...



its not perfect, the 2 creases would not come out all the way. i could have chanced it but the paint might have cracked.

for the price i paid i'm very happy

if anybody in houston needs dent removal, send me a pm and ill give you this guys number, he does excellent work.

Hey that looks pretty good. I bet no one would notice unless you point it out to them.

Damn, how did they do that? That looks great - did you watch them do it?? what did they use , how much did it cost, etc, etc.

I have a few dings I might want to take care of one day.

Default I just got mine the other day

and went downtown on an errand. I parked it away from everyone at the far end of the lot. When I came out, there were cars parked on either side of it. A Boxter S and a G35.....at least I was in good company.......by the way, the dent repair looked perfect to me.......makes me feel a bit better as I know sooner or later, the dent thing will happen to me
