Shopping cart Well jesus look what happened to my absolutley dent free firehawk that I only drove today to get the windows tinted.
I don't think any paints missing, and its on the right side of the car infront of the spare tire. Do you think that method with dry ice would pull this out? I know its small but I try to keep this car in perfect condition. Any suggestions are welcome.

the only thing about paintless dent repair is (this is the one time i did on my V6 so im not saying this is always the case) to get a ding out of my qaurter panel they drill a small hole in my door jam to put the rod behind the panel and put the dent out. for me if i was worned before doing this i would have had second thoughts. it was capped with a black cap and looked factory but i didn't like having an extra hole the door jam.

Damn that sucks! I feel your pain a couple months ago this damn kid was riding his bike and had the luck of falling on my car and scratching the life out it from the wing to the quarter panel and made a dent on the door!

In west chester PA, Apparently there is a place called carisma up here that can do PDR. The lady over the phone couldnt give me an estimate without bringing it in, and the firehawk is normally in storage and I just drive my 6 cylinder around campus. Figures the one day I take it out over thanksgiving break to get my windows tinted that this happens.
I take the car to car shows in the summer so this is a killer for me, there is not a missing chip of paint or scratches anywhere on the car.
Apparently there is a method using liquid c02 from an air duster can when you flip it upside down or dry ice to pop out dents. Check out the video

Finally got around to fixing it. I took it to mike at carisma on route 202 in PA. Absolutely amazing work. Cost me 95 dollars, but its 100 percent gone, not a trace of the dent even there. I was expecting something just less noticeable, but he really worked at it and its perfect! Pics below.
