agreed. I was sitting in my wife's car and the lady parked next to us straight up hit her car with no regard. No sorry or excuse me or nothing! I opened the door as was like WTF!?! Lucky she just hit the plastic molding (and it's wifey's car) but at least acknowledge that you f****d up and say sorry.

I can totally relate to this....^....a couple weeks before I sold my Z she was parked in a near by lot while my wife and I were shopping. We come out of the store and there's a white big azz ford truck parked next to me. This old guy gets out and his mail order bride doesn't just open her door she kicks it open so hard it stuck (yes stuck) in the side of my perfect never damaged Z. I was so upset/pissed I forgot to get the drivers information so he'd have to pay for the damage. Like you he/she never said, "I'm sorry!" It wouldn't have mattered, people are so bad about caring about someone else's property. I still get thinking about it!

I just got a dent "semi-fixed" earlier this week.
It was actually in the same area yours was but on the
opposite side of the fender (2 o'clock position).
I paid $150 but I can still slightly notice where the dent used to be.
I don't think it would have come out perfect unless I took it in for full body/paint.
But I wasn't willing to pay that kind of cash right now and have to get a rental while they worked on it.
The mobile tech said it was in a difficult area to deal with (right on the body line)
so it couldn't be completely fixed through paintless dent removal.
It's a lot better but I still notice the slight imperfection (some tiny dimpling).
Here are some before pics for ref (my camera died so I'll take some after pics later).

what did they do to "semi-fix" the dent? That's a pretty bad area to get a dent in.

It was a mobile service so I didn't see the full work since I went back up to the office.
I did however see him using a plastic or wax rod that he would hit with a small hammer.
i guess that was for exterior work so the paint wouldn't chip.
Looked like a candle stick.
He also took off the taillight so I assume he was able to access it from behind somehow.

Hey! That looks just like mine! You think since none of us actually saw anything, maybe it's a G defect? Maybe if you drive too fast the body swells like that? lol

if you take it to a body shop their going to drill 2 holes in it and pull it with a slide hammer.. sand it fill it the whole 9.. you might as well take out your wheel wells and try to pop it out yourself from the reverse side if possible.. then like i said give dentex a call
