One big question!?!? Is the front driver side fender going to bug the hell out of me because you can never match the paint 100%, am I going to be like WTF everytime I wash my car and or stare at it?

 

wow that sucks man... but the scratches in the 3rd picture might come off with FIX IT.

 

Sucks to hear about this. The other day I opened my garage and laying on the floor were 2 griddles, thank god my car wasn't parked when they fell or else I would be moonroof-less

 

If you get a budget job, you're likely to notice. I had some quality work done and you really can't tell. It also helped that everything was still pretty new so everything will fade at the same rate. But you typically get what you pay for, so find a good shop.

 

Ok thanks, Im just going to do it through progressive, my insurance. I'm going to be w/o my car mon-wed it sucks ( oh and i dont have rental on my ins.) but fk it. I wish they gave me the same model to drive, cause ill be damned if im driving a fkn focus
thanks for all the support guys. I will post pics after the job is done as well.

 

duster can method don't work on a dent like that...

 

Progressive was very good to me.

Fixed both my "sky is falling" accidents right up.
