I got a few dings I'm tired of looking at. three to be exact, . Does anybody know what a body shop would do/charge? I really don't wanna bondo any thing, Wish i had the know how to at least pop the ding I look at every day. Right above the door handle driver side. When I replace the oem speakers I'm gonna try and pop that sucker back where it was.

Have a paint less dent repair guy take them out. I can get it done really cheap cause i know a guy but they charge by the size of the dent.

+++3 I got a door ding in wallmart, pretty bad too creased and all. Went to my favorite body shop and asked the PDR guy if he could fix it. $50 bucks later, you cant even tell there was ever anything there! Do it!

check youtube, I'm sure there are a lot vids showing how its done. Its basically a rod that they put behind the panel and work it out. Pretty slick stuff!

I think it takes a lot of practice to be good at it. Push too hard and and you will crack the paint and make it look worse.

Check with your fav local body shop or check your dealer. When the dealer was close to my house they had a guy come twice a week to work out stuff on cust cars and new ones damaged during transport.

I had 2 dents in my 08 when I bought it. They took it out, couldn't even tell it was there.

Back when I worked for a body shop we had a guy come in and do a few for us (this was back in the late 90s, stuff was just starting to hit the scene). I saw him take out some dents that I would have NEVER thought would come out. And you couldn't tell they were there.

Its the ****. :D

I doubt seriously they can reach the back side of my tailgate. If I can get that and the door, throw in the rear/quarter front r/s for maybe a hundred bucks, they prolly charge by the hour. I'll chat the guy up. He did get me the deal on the headlamp assembly.
