Door Ding
I have had my new 04 WRX for exactly a week and I show up this morning and there is a door ding in the rear driverside door! I park like a mile away everywhere I go and this is really frustrating! I also only park on end spaces but still someone manages to open their damn door into my car. I just can't believe people can be so inconsiderate of other people's property. I was really hoping to keep this car dent free (for at least a week?).
Anyone had good experiences with "paintless dent removal". How much did it cost?
The dent isn't "huge" but it is big enough to make the car feel tarnished! BAD KARMA TO WHOEVER DID THIS!
I will take a picture of the dent when I charge my camera up but my car is silver.
Any help or ideas in the process of dent removal would be greatly appreciated. I do have the "DING KING" which I got as a joke gift for christmas but it didn't work great on my BMW (seems like the subaru panels are not as thick though). Anyone have good experiences with the DING KING.

The first week I had my STI a rock from a dump truck I was passing hit my hood and put a big ding in it. The paint was not chipped or broken. I took it to a dent repair place here in Ohio and 20 min later you could not tell there was ever a dent. I was very happy. It cost me $65. and they did it while I waited. My last car this happened and the paint was broke. It cost me $450 I had to have the hood painted.
Good luck.

Just look up auto bodies in the phone book - you should find some places there. My car has been smashed fully already and just got a nice new ding in the fender last week - haven't even had it a year yet.

Sounds like something that just happened to me over the weekend. Luckly for me the car was still parked next to mine, not that it meant anything but I did get a little revenge. Anyways I've had my STI for 350 miles now and it already has a dent in it. The PDR guys told me it would be $65 to remove. I've seen some of their work and couldn't even tell the car had a dent in it.

Like everyone else said.. Paintless dent removal works pretty well. I had a ding on my new 04, and had it popped out. You really can't tell where it was, and it was even on the roll of the door panel where it was tricky to pop out. The place I used would drive to your work, home, etc. I would definitly use them again for future dings, but I would probably wait until I had a couple since the offered the first one at $55, and then subsequent ones on the car for $35 or $40.

I have removed three dings from my 02 silver wagon with dent king (pep boys $30)- no harm to paint. Dent King was very easy to use. Each ding took 2-3 tries but they say you usually have to do it more. I did have a larger dent in my hood from a golf ball hit from the golf course across the street from my office. Dent King only removed part of the dent. Dent doc removed with no harm to paint. You can still see the dimples from the damned ball if you look real close but you really need to stare at it.
Good luck!
