Dent on Passenger Side

Dent on Passenger Side

Tried to search for previous enteries and was not able to find any, just wondering if someone had a good way to remove a small dent (caused by some F'ers door hitting mine ). Its a small dent and I dont feel like going to a body shop for it, but its really noticeable when the car is nice and shinny. If someone has any suggestions?

You're out of luck... There *is* a way that you *may* be able to fix it. I've not confirmed that it'd work tho.

I'm too tired to type it up. Basically dry-ice and hair dryer. Someone fill in the details. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

from what i remember, i believe you use ice and circle your way around the dent to get the body of your dent cold //
heat it up w/ a dryer and POP, comes the dent...

or use a plunger...

pls confirm draven or civicboy...

It's more like half an hour job and lots of luck on the ice/dryer method. It's very dependent on how the dent was formed.

I just said f*it with my dents. There is one on my fender that I want to fix tho, but will prbably just push out from underneath, haha....

You'll get over it. I remember how ticked I was on the first dent... As was the second, third, ..., scratch, bump, etc.

My car is Jinxed, and I'm used to it now. A couple of guys on here's seen my bad luck... At some point you just get over the heartache.
