Attachment 105724Got the dent out!! 
I took it to Beach Cities PDR and Jeff did a great job! He also did it for less than what he quoted me! 
I still have to fix the chip but here's a pic:

Nice fix on the dent. Use touch up paint and Langka compound (langka.com) and it will be hardly noticeable...best wishes!!

There's a crack on the rear bumper paint (possibly cracked under the paint as well). Also the rear quarter panel is creased more around where the scrape is.

Here's a pic of the bumper..Is it worth fixing and repairing the bumper? I was thinking of getting an M-TECH replica rear anyway..

I doubt anybody saw anything. A$$HOLE didn't leave a note. I just went home, wiped off the whiteish debris and took these pics. The bumper can be replaced, but that crease on the rear quarter panel worries me.

DAYAM! Sorry to see that some a$$hole added insult to injury on your ride. Looks like you'll need to go see Lawrence at Tri-Star in Hunting Beach to get that fixed the proper way. It will definitely require a repaint of the right-rear quarter panel and they'll need to blend adjacent panels which will now include your door with the nick. If your insurance deductible is less than or equal to $1000, it makes sense to have your comprehensive coverage foot the bill for this. They'll work with you on the deductible if you ask nicely and tell Lawrence you were referred from the E60 forum.
