Default door dings!

I went to a local gas station and parked my car cause I wanted to go and get a hot dog. There was this old Daihatsu Charaden beside me and when I opened my door he had his door opened as well so the edge on his door banged into mine. the dudeīs were about my age and the look on their face, they thought I was gona burst, but I didnt cause I was with a girl, and they apologizes. Well, this was really my fault but can door dings be fixed? itīs a difficult location the spot is on the door, just a few cmīs from the edge, is it possible to get this fixed??

anything is possible . . . just make sure you watch what you're doing!

everyone does dumb things like that at one point or another . . . and most times you see it coming, too!

Two words:
Paintless Dent Repair (ok, that's three)

I had a pretty deep door ding on the passenger side (freaking SUVs ) and the guy took it out like it was never there. I would recommend calling your local Acura dealer and ask them who they use, that way the guy/gal you get will be very experienced with Integras. Depending on the ding, it will probably run you between $75 and $100 someodd, but it is more than worth it. My ding plus a butt-dent in my right rear fenderwell cost me only $115, and I felt so good about my car after he finished.

Good luck!

totally goto a dent doctor of some kind. I am taking my ITR in to get done in a month, as it now has 2 wicked door dents, more like 4" creases.

My friend had 3 big 8" dents on his hood, and a golfball size dent on his trunk lid. They removed everything while he waited, and it ended up costing about $200. I saw it right after it was finished, absoultely amazing!!

Depends on how bad the dent is. I've seen dent doctor type guys do some amazing stuff. They can get rid of almost any type of dent and make your car look brand new again. If you don't know who to call in your area, best thing to do is go to a good car dealership and ask their detailer who they typically use.
