Dent on my Quarter Panel

Hey guys,

I recently picked up a G35 Coupe the other day. Already loving it! The only thing that has been really bugging me is there is a dent on the quarter panel. When I purchased it, some places said they just need to pop it out so I didnt think it would be a big deal.

After purchase though and seeing it in person, alot of PDR shops are saying the location is badand it wont work as they have no access. They are proposing I go to a body shop and refinish the entire quarter panel which will now get very expensive.

Any of you had experience with dents like these on your G? What'd you do?

Keep searching for a Paintless dent removal shop that's willing to gain access. The ones you've contacted are just lazy looking for an easy $....

Some shop can use a glue/suction method. Not sure how they do it, but I've seen it done on youtube.

Hmm, the glue method looks very convincing. I've so far contacted 2 PDR's, I was also thinking about removing the seat and panels and give them access to the 1/4 panel that way. I'll have to keep looking for someone skilled that is willing to do the work. If someone knows anyone, please message me - I would appreciate it because this thing is bugging me.

Not only is redoing the whole 1/4 panel going to be expensive, the blending will be noticeable.

I've got the same issue right above the wheelwell, but it's on the crease.

There's a lot of services that will come to you.

It was my understanding that if a Paintless Dent Repair guy cannot access a dent by removing an inner fender they can access the area by drilling a small hole to gain access and then plug it. I'll know more tomorrow as I have a similar dent in a similar place and I do not want the panel repainted. It's not on a crease. Anybody a anybody knowlegeable about PDR we could use some help here.
