Default 1st dent!

I had my Koni Yellows installed today (W/Eibach Prokit).

Tonight, I noticed a dent on the top of the driver's side front fender. Never seen it before, and I don't know how it got there.

It's not very big. Does anyone know about how to tap out dents?

My car is only 5 months old! Damn!

I got a small dent near the top of my passenger front fender when my car was only 3 months old. I went to a local Dent Wizard. I dropped the car off, went across the street for lunch, came back, and the dent was gone. It set me back $100. I thought the paintless dent repair was worth it.

There are probably other paintless dent repair businesses that do the same thing. Check them out.

Sounds like somebody was pushing down on your fender to see how stiff your suspension is.....

I've seen it before.

You're lucky some a$$hole backed into my car putting a 9" long dent in the door that cracked the paint. Some people deserve to die. At this point, If I found someone screwing with my car I'd probably go ballistic and pop their eyeballs out.

With mine, someone checked into it with their hip to see if they could set the alarm off. Left the dent and besides, the Acura Theft Deterrent System doesn't even have motion sensing!!

Get the paintless dent repair, and always park in the corner spaces in parking lots.

This is my first and I never knew that they were SO easy to dent. I'll get it fixed next week. If anyone leans on my car after it gets fixed, they've got a problem on their hands.
