How much do you think is gonna cost to fix a lil dent?

Paintless dent repair (PDR) is basically just that. The techs use special tools to "pop" the dent back to the original shape. Figure around $150 for a dent that size.

It's in a tough spot though, right on the edge of that fender line. It may be the pictures, but I would just leave it be if its hardly noticeable. The conventional method would be sanding, fill, paint and polish. You then run the risk of not having a perfect color match. I would ask a PDR tech for a more accurate quote before doing anything else.

It is not very visible unless you see it from an angle, but knowing its there pisses me off. I am gonna have a bumper and spoiler painted soon so i will ask the body shop to fix it. I will ask the dumbass to pay for it.
