Thumbs down my very first ding... :(

yeah so it was bound to happen some time. noticed a ding on my front passenger fender. got soo pissed. made me wonder when and where it could of happened. maybe the truck that now parks next to my stall. same color as the paint on my fender. anyway, looking to get rid of that. i would like to know which is the best/expensive place to go. so that i steer clear of there!!!

on another note, a co-worker of mine car got stolen last night while he was delivering pizza. i say good for that dumbazz... hes the idiot for leaving his car running while he goes and walks to the door. it was a riced out focus anyway. blue neons everywhere in the car. just thought id share that.

generally the best way to fix the dent (in your heart) is kick the car that made the dent. you lasted pretty long man. i got mine within a month or so

Man, my car has been through a few wars with the way it looks. Not gonna paint until I have money to do everything right...until then I'm not as **** as I should be because I'll just bondo everything before I paint.

Thumbs up Had door dings...saw Keith at Kaneohe Subaru...

I have nothing but good to say about the folks at Kaneohe Subaru...

I had several dings in both of my rear doors...one was pretty bad (Quarter sized and about 1/2" deep) - happened at Kmart near Iwilei. During an oil change at Kaneohe Subaru, I talked to Keith and they do repair dings...very well.

They did a great job...they charge by the door panel so they charged me for two doors...As long as the ding is not so bad that the paint actually cracks or gets distorted (the quarter size ding was distorted)...the dings come out as if nothing had happened...

Take it by there and check it out...Keith gives I-Club members a break. While there, stop by and say hi to GDogg...

Punks, I had mine the first friggin week. I was so pi**ed. I've heard good things about Kaneohe too. Most places charge by the door or fender, not worth it for one ding.

Thumbs up Charges differ...just take it in...

Let Keith take a look at the dings...he'll give you a fair price.
