Default dent in my s2k! can it be 'popped'

here lemme post the story before hand as to why my car was hated on. if the person who did it happens to be an h-t member, come see me.

so on wednesday during lunch at school, (i walk during lunch) i was confronted by 2 girls who said i talked too much sh*t. I figured out later what they were talking about, it was about something from 2 years ago. I don't talk sh*t or spread rumors, but i tell people when i see something thats LMAONADE/ROFLCOPTER funny.

so 2 years ago I was a sophmore in highschool, and so was this girl. I saw this girl outside walgreens and her boyfriend went inside. i went in with 2 of my friends to get gatorade for workout at the gym. when i got my stuff and we were ready to check out. we see the boyfriend at the counter and he said, "Can I get a box of small trojan condoms?" at the time, this girl was 15-16 LOL. I told one person, and I guess that one person told many others, and 2 years later she confronted me. (wednesday)
edit: the bf was older, apparently he was 19. but i swear, he looked like he was 30

So after the confrontation or w/e and she had nothing on me since I told nothing but the truth, she bitched about it and that was that. The following day, I find a keymark on my pass. door (it was the side facing the sidewalk) + a dent that looks like it creased the metal inward.

So to the tech part, the dent isn't like a crater but rather like a fold in the metal.. can this be popped out or massaged out? (paintless dent removal possible?)

and 2ndly, for the keymark.. should i use touch-up pen + clearcoat pen OR sand down the area around it and try to blend paint in? (I might just paint my car since im getting bumpers anyways and have some scratches)

Thanks Honda-tech, hope you enjoyed the read

here's the best pic i could take w/ my crappy 5MP

Sorry to hear about what happened but your story sucks. lol. High school drama FTL.

As for repair, got pics? That way someone can see how bad the damage is and then give you advice....

the dent is actually so shallow i cant pick it up on my 5MP or my friend's 7MP camera in all different lighting... its about 2mm at the deepest part. but up close u can see it, and its like 2" by 3" in area.

Seriously, I can't stand it either. It pisses me off to no end. OP, I would recommend getting it fixed at whatever cost. Then go ahead and handle business as you see fit. Personally, it doesn't matter to me whether it was a girl or guy who messes with my car. It doesn't even matter how old they are. I will go to them, punch them in the face, and break their arm. When it healed, I'd go do it again. This would continue for quite some time, and of course I would take care so that it would not be traced back to me. I have no problems punching a 10 year old in the face if they dented my car with intent.

do they really sell small condoms?? Serious question lol. I gotta use the magnums but i dont recall seeing like peacock size or extra small. Thats like some sitcom funny *** **** lol.

And that looks like a crease in the metal. A real good professional might be able to get that out perfectly.

Any good body shop should be able to get that popped out quickly.

that can NOT be "popped out" it has to be bondo'd or fiberglasses. whatever you like to use or the body shop. there are 2 different types of dents my friend. the ones caused by knees(i like to call these soft dents) and others caused by shopping carts(hard dents) this is a hard dent you can tell by more of a scarring in them and they is harder and costlier to fix. good luck with it my friend.

eh its not that noticable. right now im thinking if i should get it fixed now or after i graduate so that it wont be as likely to happen

i called a few dent remover guys and one said he could get it out or no charge even after i told him it's a crease-type dent.. the only thing is what if he expletives it up more

he cant mess it up more but in worst case the dent will look different. but there will always be improvement. luckily ive been doing body work for 6 years.
