Was just posting a picture and got reminded of a dent that pisses the hell out of me.. i cant figure out if it was on the car when i got it or has been put there since. It looks like somone was trying to close the door and used their ***. Do you guys think this can be fixed back to perfect at a body shop (having the car painted soon) or do i need to get a new door skin?

 

it can be fixed.

 

omg dude. You cant tell in the picture but obviously you can probably tell by just looking at the door from a different angle. It can easily be fixed by a pro. I have a huge *** dent on my door that also chipped the paint off from some jerk opening their door into mine. All they did was bring it out a little, sand it, use a bit of bondo, and then repainted my entire car (that was my choice since I changed the color of the car.).

 

I would try a paintless dent removal service. They can do some pretty amazing things. A friend had a supra with a crease over the wheel well and they got it completly out.

You could also have a body shop fix it, but you run the risk of the paint not matching, to me this is more annoying than the dent.

There is no need to replace the skin. This would be way overkill.

 

thanks for the quick responses, i was worried

 

yes you can get it fixed. some places now can do paintless dent removal, but its expensive.

 

Replace the door? Are you insane?

Take it to a dent shop, it will come right out.

 

wow, you got a lot of money if your gonna replace an entire door becuase there is a small dent which can be pulled out very easily. id only replace a door if it was pushed in 6-12inchs

 

I would just get a whole new RX-7

 

lol

 

New FD or new door. I think the cheaper route would be a new door. But getting a dent out from a body shop would be the best.

 

i have the ***-pushed in dent on my drivers door also, but it's much higher up and is VERY noticable.... most people dont pay attn to it right now b/c i dont have a drivers side headlight cover... so i always hear "nice car, but you need a headlight" and i just roll my eyes and think "the cover is gone, not the whole headlight, ya dumbasses"..... i'm going to get mine popped out by a paintless dent specialist.
