Try dent doctor, they work miracles. A relative of mine had a canoe fall on his 911's front fender leaving a crease and they totally removed it with no signs at all.

We use ryan from straight edge, he is awesome. Based out of kitchener he comes right to the dealership her ein guelph, Its worth a try before gong to the body shop, $100 cash for a good dent removal or thousands in body work. best of luck

3) Re apply stone guard
4) Blend base coat for perfect colour match
5) Refinish repairs"


They have pretty good reviews so I think I will take it there. Price will be approx 350-400
I just remembered they are doing group buy for this, check this thread out http://forums.redflagdeals.com/group...al-gta-847326/

@wparsons I emailed Dent Doctor and they said that rocker panel cannot have PDR done on it.

@jamies31Kitchener is far from me, I am in Bolton so do not think that would work but thanks though!

@Myv saw that to, that is with the group price. Final quote is 350. I am still going to drive to another PDR place on Saturday (Auto Magicians in Mississauga)for one last inspection. So far it is looking like PDR cannot be performed

This happens to me too, and I don't recall hitting anything either. What sucks is... it happened within the first week I got the car.

So how did you cope with your dent? Have you got the dent repaired?

It can be repaired easily. The spot is actually good as the anti chip paint at the bottom will hide pry marks if the repair guy goes that route. I have done many repairs unnoticeable in areas like that.

That's a relief to hear that, I will have to find an expert around my area then.

replacing the entire shell like the Firestorm above is one huge piece! Lol

I got a door dent repaired with http://www.cardentmedic.ca/ and it worked out well. Worth the quote at least I think.

Good luck with it! Just got another door dent today about 2 inches from my last repair. This time I won't be getting it fixed - luckily it's minor.

So if it's not really critical you could also just live with it for a bit until your next dent repair. I do understand that it hurts too - good luck!

I feel you pain, I've owned my FRS for about a week and have two mystery dents located on my hood and roof. I'm sure a good PDR guy can't get that out for you as I've seen many work wonders on some horrific dents! Also hoping mine can get removed as its an eyesore and a strike to the gut each time I hop into my car.

Anyway good luck with everything! Keep us updated!
