I guess it's the price to pay to enjoy the lightweight handling/nimbleness of the car. Hopefully when I get these dents pulled out I won't have to deal with another for a while... At only 300+ miles clocked in on the car I've done everything I could to park it the most secure location and absolutely baby'd the car's cosmetics, lo and behold all my effort has only brought upon everything I had feared.

Luckily I'm still covered under dent and ding warranty with my dealership for a year. After that the dents will start appearing on my wallet as well..

Damn i need that warranty, I paid 250$ to get 6 dents out, i've just given up. I stopped caring lol.

What were the size of the dents like if you don't mind me asking? And were they pretty un-noticeable after you've had them pulled?

A PDR should be able to push that right out since there isn't any paint damage. Becareful where you park in the neighborhoods, I start freaking out when I see kids playing ball..

I had a pretty big on my fender because my skinny ass dented it when I was leaning on it lol.. the rest were little ones doors/roof which were mysterious. because I don't park next to anyone ever!

I actually was thinking the same thing... It just baffles me how a dent like that could be so well aligned with one another and the location is pretty peculiar...either that or a ball had bounced on it.... either way it just plain sucks...

If only I had the same Bruce Wayne vehicle security technology that shielded the car when my eyes aren't on it.... :

Anyway thank you! And hope that you get your FRS/BRZ soon! (and hope that you won't ever have to go through the dilemma i'm in now)

Thanks, are they going to repaint it? or just pull the dents?

If there is no paint damage go with a pdr. I had my old cars done, can't tell the difference if the guy is good.

PDR can remove them no problem. They shouldn't have to pull the headliner, a good PDR guy would just glue pull it from the exterior

Agreed the roof is paper thin. I've had a pdr guy remove dents from my roof twice now. First time was leaning on it installing shark fin. Next time I noticed some when washing it and have no idea how they got there.

Can't tell it from brand new after pdr guy finished with it both times.

A good body-man can work magic on dents, the problem is finding one that is competent and experienced with paintless dent removal. I say this because I've had my shit fucked up by someone once upon a time.

I work at a dealership with a good PDR guy on site, so he does all my work. That being said, if anybody is local and needs work feel free to PM me
