Got my 1st ***n ding . I knew this $hit was going to happen the first time I saw how thin the steel was on the doors+fenders. I know was trying to save some weight by making the steel panels as thin as possible. IMO they should of looked elsewhere for weight savings.. Just my 2 cents..

i agree

 

Gonna call one of those mobile dent pros to take it out.
With the thin skin,I guess it makes it easier to..

Parking lot encounter or road debris?

.

 

i got a ding on my rear door pannel fender...its pretty bad...

any you guys know what they will do if i get insurance to fix it? will a body shop have to customly mold the fender back? or does mitsubishi carry rear fenders that they attach to the car?

 

Dude, just call one of those mobile dent pros. They usually charge about $80bucks per ding.. They can even do a small dent. Its paintless work, and it will look like it never happened..

Parking lot incident..

Paintless Dent Repair, works like a charm, you'll never know it happened, had to do it 4 times on my old s2000

 

stupid inconsiderate people Parking lots got me twice in the last 4 months or so... my condolences go out to your X

 

The funny thing is that I parked far away from other ppl. But theres always that someone. That likes to park right next to your car..

WM

 

i too discovered my first dent the other day.... so annoyed....

 

Phil, I think your just boosting too much..

WM

 

well like i said this is more than a ding its like someone was trying to back out and backed our and hit my rear fender..its nothing that can be just popped back out..

thats why im wondering what they do does mitsubishi sell rear fenders or does a body shop remold it

 

If its just the door skin. The body shop will replace that panel foresure. Now if its the rear quarter panel. The bodyshop will pull out the existing dent as much as they can. And then bondo it..

Could've been worse, it could've been your Viper. heh. Yeah, I got a dent pulled this past Tuesday. Took all of 2 mins to fix at the PDR place. He crammed the tool between the door and door panel around the window opening. It left some white powdery residue. No idea what it might have been. When they massage out the dent with the tool, does it scratch up the metal in the inside? I heard that if it's not done right it can lead to rusting. Some fixes require for them to coat the underside with rust-proofing from what I hear.
