So Many Haters

Well the other day I got an email from my mother telling me there is a dent on my car and she doesn't know how it got there. For those who don't know I am currently in Iraq and won't be home until May. Just wanted to share my frustration with the G35 community. Looks like I can pull it out with a suction cup or bang it out from the other side, what do you guys think?

Where's the hate at? I think your mom took it for a cruise to the mall and got dinged in the parking lot.

Look like you might be able to knock it out. Might crack the paint on it's way though.

I doubt that someone randomly came over and kicked it.

Unfortunately it is, my garage is way too small to fit my car in. Wouldn't surprise me if some one kicked it, I've read in some post that people throw paint on their Gs.

I wish I knew bro, I am in Selden/Coram. How much do you think it would be to remove the dent?

everything
The 1/4 is definitely gonna have to be pulled out, filled, and resprayed

And a foot kicking cant crease sheet metal that crisp looking around the fender edge like that. Some sort of blunt object did that

Then I am clueless to what could have done that. Thanks for the info when I return I will go to a body shop and see what can be done.

From the pic you posted Cain that doesn't appear to be a dent that someone kicked in, that's a pretty sharp crease. Sorry this happened to you while being deployed, ya gotta make that garage fit....somehow!

Don't mean to pile on but, that was not kicked. You will have to take it to a body shop. I'm guesstimating about $500-$800 worth of damage.

I guess you can feel better knowing that someone didnt disrespect you and it was probably an accident.
