Default how much did this guy just cost me?

came out of the bar last night to see that some dickless mother effer decided my car needed a dent in it! how much do you guys think it will cost to get pulled? and will it look perfect or is it going to look like it got hit?

idk if this really works but if you look on youtube, supposedly dry ice on the dent will pop it out.

go to your yellow pages n try to find PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) they usually can handle that size of a dent.

i tried the dry ice stuff, works not bad, depends more if the dent has a crease in it or not. the dry ice method i think is best if its a dent that could easily enough be popped out from behind except you don't have to get behind it, just use the d/i from outside. and it didn't affect the paint, d/i only affects nerves or cells or something, i even left it in the plastic bag they gave me and left it on the car seat and stuff, no effect.
yours looks like has some spots that the d/i may not help, the top part of the dent (those 2 'ears')and the body line.
or you can try and stick your hand in the fender behind the dent and pop it back out yourself without the d/i. but that still may leave some small 'crease' type dents like i was saying above, the top and body line. those two parts look like they will be hardest to get back to norm.
depends on your pref how much you want it back to norm or if just gonna be an eyesore.
i would say pop it back out from the inside yourself and get a paintless dent rem company to finish it up though not sure how much they would chg...
good luck to ya

you could go back to the bar and see if a guy has a limp or a broken hand or anyone with a cast, and just ask them, if there halfway drunk they'll blab it out cause they think its cool... ask him to pay if not call the police... hahhahha its a "Hit and Run"

Pull the fender liner and push out on the fender. It will pop about 95%. You can always call dent wizard and see what they can do. The fender is easily accessible.

Damn...that freakin sucks man. As mentioned earlier, just pull the fender and you can possibly fix it yourself. Because once you remove the fender you will realize how flimsy the fender is and you can pop the dent out yourself.

Keep us posted.

Goodluck

shop is ripping u off bro, I konw a place down the street from my house that will paint the whole outside of a car for $800. shop around, or do some of the work yourself i.e. change the fender out yourself, and have the shop paint it. doing that will definetly save u some money

theres a trick to pop out dents using those air spray cans for cleaning electronics and a hair dryer.

my bro had a dent on his RX7 a little smaller than yours. he used that same spray can trick and the dent popped itself back out. well, most of it it is still a little bit noticeable.

ps
you can find the vid on youtube.

if you were to get a new fender painted, they would have to blend the paint into the door, bumper and the hood to get the color to match.

You are SOOOO lucky that the paint didnt crack. Call a well known PDR technician who can handle this type of job. PDR stands for paintless dent removal. Do not try what these idiots are saying about pry bars and dry ice. This can definetly be fixed by an experienced PDR tech.

I have seen much worse dents than yours come out 100% fine. Figure around $250-350 for an experienced technician.

Ding King would take that out no problem. In all seriousness though, the bad part is that it goes over the mid body line. To pull something like that and have it come out near perfect without paint... well anything is possible but whoever is doing it would have to be a skilled body tech.
