some asshole must have backed up into me or something but i got a nasty little dent in my car. its on the front driver side by the lights. looks like it just need to be pushed out from the inside out or something. any ideas?

How big is it and is it creased? I've seen my dad pull a few dents out with a bathroom plunger. Might sound crazy but I've seen him do it.

use dry ice in a towel... make sure the towel won't scratch the paint and just slowly rub over the dent with it... it should pop it self out eventually...

yeah i think my dad bought one of those to use it on our daewoo a couple years back after i put a dent in it. ill have to scrounge through the garage to see if we still have it. the dent itself is kinda big but its shallow i guess.

My son was just outside the garage last winter waiting to ambush me with a snowball. He threw it and I jumped back and it hit the GTO! No big deal, right? Well, it was a chunk of frozen snow and it put a small dent in the rear fender. I went to see my neighbor who ownes a body shop. He looked at the dent and said no problem - Dent Wizard will fix that. Dent Wizard is a company that specializes in small dent repair. And they are wizards because I could not find where the dent had been. They are not cheap - cost me about $100 - but it was well worth it to me.

yeah i might have to just take it to a body shop, its dented in like the worst spot ever to try to suction it out. or maybe i can use this as an excuse to get a body kit + maybe ultra z hood and have the body shop deal with the dent while they put everything on
