I made one with my own knee getting into the car and felt like shooting myself. It cost 100$ to get popped out but w/e as long as there are no dents. They do suck. Good luck we know the pain.

I too hate dings; had one on my door for about two months, in all fairness I did it; however, I called a paintless dent guy, and he removed it in an hour. Cost $80 bucks, and form me, it was money well spent.

don't sweat about it dude. my cars have like 8 of dings, plus 4 egg marks from haters, plus co worker and my sis back into my ride....got pissed off for a while, but there is no car out there without something mess up. You only see them in dealers, or people who never drive the car out.

maybe its those people who should grow up.

well said ^ ...idk why people can't respect other's property..and some people like to keep there car looking nice w/out dings so who are you to tell someone to grow up when you don't even know them...i had a ding 2 weeks ago and it pissed me off bc i also park far away from everyone and people do it just for the pure evilness of ruining something that is nice...take it to the ding doctor and you won't be able to tell it was there if there was no paint chipped from the ding...

Look up a dent doctor service. They can use suction to pull most small dents out. There should be something like this in your area.

2.5 years, no dings yet. Just park far away. But I found a small dimple on my roof the other day...uggghhh. I think something maybe fell from a tree when I parked under one for shade.

lol you would probably kill yourself if someone were to key your door panel or something

Park far away, non-commute car, short pitstops and in the morning shopping are keys to my car- knock-on wood. If I do get a ding, its not the end of the world for me because life is important to me than materialism. I'm prepare when it happens and let it go, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. A car is a car, this is not a Supra and it won't, but that is another story.

PS: They didn't make that many Supras that is why the prices are high.
