Welp, what I meant was it should be an easy fix for a well equipped, experienced PDR person.

AND NO ...... you can't practice your PDR moves on my car's three little dents ....

However, I'm will in to send you a piece of foil, with a dent in it, so you can show your moves on a simulated FR-S's body.....

I suggest you practice on @Cole 's car ......

I don't have dents. Mostly just paint peeling and paint scraped from being too low last year.

YEAH! Guy close to here [Salinas] crashed his Halo 2015 FRS and was parting it out. Wanted fender for $50, hood for $125, driver door for $200 and $150 front bumper. Got T boned and passenger side to rear was bent!

Found em on Craigslist. I bought door interior trim from him. $20.

Sweet! They start at about $200 here even if private sale. Mind you we don't have as many of them around. I bet there are more in just the LA area then there is in the whole country here.

I'd agree with that statement. Just look at the socal spotted thread. Most of them seem to be inland; I don't see as many twins around the south bay beach cities area. A ton of Teslas in my neighbourhood and of course, the official car of socal - the Prius. I don't think you could throw a holy hand grenade without hitting at least 3 in the blast radius.

the pdr guy that comes to my work said that the frs was easiest car to do pdr on. he said there is tons of access to the panels, there is not many interior support panels in the way of the outside body panel.

Wow, I'm a pretty handy guy (designed and fabricated my own roll bar, as well as lots of the suspension parts on my car) and even I call a pro when it is time to do dent removal.

Knee surgery looks pretty simple in a Youtube video as well, but I don't think I'm gonna try it myself.

LOL The difference is that I will not cripple or kill the car if I fail. Wasn't downplaying the skills required nor being cocky that I can do anything but simply saying it looked like something I felt I could handle and was thinking of giving it a try. The pros learned it (unless there is a magical dent repair fairy that comes to you in your sleep and passes on the secret and mystical ability) so why can't I?
