I'm mad.
Last night, when I got to my car at the Hooters parking lot, I noticed that my driver's side mirror was pushed all the way forward. I didn't see anything wrong with my car so I thought it was just someone walking in by pushed it forward.
Anyhow, I come out today to see this:




There's no crease, mark or damage to the paint other than the dent itself. What you see in the pictures is a palm(?) print and smudges. It looks like it was punched not kicked.
Do you guys think this can be pushed out easily by a dent repair guy? Hell, I'm thinking of trying to push it out tomorrow if I can get the fender off. What do you think?
Oh, and ya, I should have moved my car last night when everyone telling me too. It's all my fault.

Oh WTF??? Dude is lucky we didn't see or hear... you just don't mess with other people's cars like that...
Sorry to hear about this, but at least it looks like you can pop that out...
I was thinking the same when I was reading this!

I would get in contact with Chris Jacobs at Diablo Dents and see what he says. Looks like something that can pop out but don't know if there would be a potential issue with the paint cracking.
One time, I popped out a dent similar to that on my dads truck. However, his fender is flat in comparison.

fvck Rudy..that totally sucks! If you're going to pop it out, I would apply heat to it first or let it sit in the hot sun for a while so the paint will become more flexible. But you might want to take Giacomos advice and give Chris a call. I can call him for you if you want.
Just a heads up... My brother got a dent exactly like yours on his WRX, however, WRX's have flared fenders, so I assume it would be alot more work. Anyways, I emailed Chris some pictures and I believe he quoted him anywhere from $250-$350. This was about 6 months ago.

I tried the heat/cold thing and it didn't work.
I wish I still worked at my old job. We had these suction handles that we used to move the floor tiles to be able to access cables underneath. One little tug and the dent will pop out, I know it.
Chris, let's see what you guys say when you see it tomorrow. I'll have the Diablo Dent guy give it a try. I don't think it's as bad as it looks.
Thanks everyone.
