I think it cost like $80 or something? It's been a while.

Thanks for this. I will check him out. What is his name? Perhaps I can mention your name who gave me a good reference?

They probably will charge 75 tho. You could probably haggle down to 50 if you take everything off.

Is there a crease or is it spherical?
Just wanted to follow up

I viewed this on my phone earlier and it looked good, but now on my computer, their website is udder shit. Dent Genies and it says "Dent Genius"

Looks bad but they had like 140 5/5 stars reviews on yahoo, 5/5 on google, and 5/5 stars on yelp as well. Not sure how far you are from Livonia but these guys look great as well.

Anyone on here?
Yup, that is me. I assume you're talking about muirwood. I stay there too. . I've seen your car around, near the Drake road entrance.

Do you have aftermarket taillamps? I thought they looked different when I saw your car, didn't get a good look at them though

Yeah I have the Valentis, I live on highview. Are you the guy whose carport fell on the car? I saw that a few months ago in "Farmington Hills"

"The world's not big enough for the two of us "

I think I'm gonna wire up some amps in a few weeks, you should drive by and chug some beers with me

If you ever wanna do some parking lot mods let me know, I love to watch work being done

Thank you kberkel, I ended up going to the guy DKPJester suggested.

Great guy and I highly recommend him. He lives far though, Shelby Township. It was about 40 minutes from me but I drove there with 50/50 chance it can be fixed according to him.

He charges per ding which 1 ding is 85 and 25 for additional numbers.

When he assessed mine, he said it wasnt just a ding. Someone did the dent purposely. The 1 dent I see, he saw 5 and like metal was warped. He pointed them out. He was professional and talked me through the process.

The only issue with our car, he couldnt access the dent from the window gaps. There is a beam in the doors. He had to drill a 0.25 inch hole on the side to get his tools inside. He touched up the paint and put a rubber on the hole. It looks factory so it doesnt bother me. He did a great job and he was humble and said it will never be perfect and you might see it since you know its there but he did a great job. I can understand what he means but what I wanted to get is when light is reflected, you cant see it easily and he achieved that.

Recommend him to everyone here if you live near Shelby Township.

Garage
So this weekend I saw a few twins. A dark blue one at the C&C at Lingenfelter on Saturday morning, a dark grey BRZ on 696 eastbound as well. Possibly saw that same car in downtown Ann Arbor on Main that evening, or one that looked just like it. A couple more I can't remember, then I saw a white one going south on Woodward yesterday, before I stopped in a parking lot when I noticed a forum member taking pics of his 10 series on brand new SBC RPF1s.

I got a white one if any of the people I mentioned saw me at any of those spots, except for Ann Arbor because I was out with my family and the car was at their house.

Any one at Woodward Friday night? Saw some great cars on the gas station that splits Old Woodward and Woodward. GTRs, Ferrari, GT500's, Porsche. Then I saw a lot of bikers near the ArtVan area. Apparently there was an accident too cause I was driving down from a party and northbound had a lot of people watching.

There was a lot of import/domestic driving around and parked infront of the vitamin shop in woodward. I wanted to stop by and check out the cars but I didnt want to roll in with a newly dent in my car from the stupid party (stupid highschoolers).
