Default Can I buff this dent out? (Photo inside)

Hey, this dent was kicked in by a friend of mines. It was an accident because he didn't know I was going to buy the car and he kicked it in because the previous owner was causing problems. It's alright though, he apologized because he didn't know. So everything is all cool.

Anyways here's the dent, should I take it to a shop and have them take it out? Or do you think I can do it myself?



Any suggestions?

Man you wouldn't want to see how badly this car was riced when I had it. Lol, about that dent lets just say the previous owner was saying he wanted to fight blah blah, and when my friend went to fight him the last owner ran away. So my friend kicked the living crap out of the car. He pratically went on top of the hatch and stomped the hood in.

We found the previous owner today and they were at it again, the last owner RAN AWAY FROM HIS NEW COUPE into his gf house. And my friend just stood next to his coupe about to smash the crap out of his car.

i like how this kid asks for advice on his body damage and everyone harps on him for his tails - wait a few years until this jdm hype dies down and people will be saying the same things to you about your m4d tyt3 jDm corneRs' y0!

but anyway dude no way your going to get that out without some filler in there, or a new quarter (not worth doing a new quarter) so yeah.

May sound stupid, but you may want to try the plunger method first(yes it's exactly how it sounds...throw a plunger on it ...prefereably a new or heavily cleaned one ...and pull it) this worked very well on my friends passenger side door, also cut body work fees in 1/2. Just something to think about if you don't have to replace the entire real1/4 panel)

it looks like there are spots where it will be creased if you pop it on your own... body shop is probably the best way to go...

Fill the dent with bondo?
