    What should I do about this creasy thing? I will probably try the hairdryer method while i do it to other spots too, because it is sort of split up into smaller dents. I am considering paintless dent removal, but idk. And is having like a body shop filling it in an option? Thanks, let me know what you think.






    EDIT: Oh and in the first pic, the part under the crease isn't pushed in like how it looks, the pictures are kind of exaggerating.

    i would say try ice hairdryer method first, get an estimate from PDR it looks like they could get some of it out but not all.

    by a can of compressed air and after using a hair dryer turn the can upside down and blow the liquid nitrogen on the dent and if that doesn't do it you'll have to take it somewhere.

    I don't think shocking it with a hair dryer and liquid nitro will work on that crease. But worth a shot nonetheless since it's cheap.

    i would just try to pop them out from the inside of the door and trunk or upper wheel well, if you can get to them, that hair dryer and air aint going to pop the one with a crease in it either. even if you pop them by hand from inside you are still going to some imperfections in those areas.

    Ok, I tried the hair dryer and CO2 on all the dents on my car but it didn't work on any... haha

    I will get a PDR quote after the engine replacement, along with tints etc....

    ...and Jakegday, I know you don't give a **** about how your car looks, as I can see in your pictures, but I do...

    find a harbor freight and get a dent puller that tack welds a stud to the metal. I dont remember what they cost but ive used them before and youll need to do some paint work after but i doubt that crease is comming out with anything less. or sand and fill it IMO these are like 10 plus year old cars how perfect do you want it???

    That was a tad uncalled for youngin, I would worry about getting it running again first.

    I thought these this happened when some lady hit your car while it was parked, and that you had talked to the lady. If that's the case, way are you worrying about this?

    As I have posted before, not in the greatest mood lately, sorry.

    No, this was here when I bought it. The lady bumped the fender but that came right out.
