I got a ding about a 1/4 inch in my bumper right at the seam of the top and bottom bumper pieces. No paint chipped off. Do you think this is something paintless dent removal can take car of? Anyone else have this taken care of? Any information is apprecited.

Regards,

Mike

It CAN be taken out with paintless dent removal. Get it done right away... beacuse when I had it done a few months ago, the guy told me that if you wait longer on plastic it gets harder to remove. I dont know if this is true or not, but its not very expense to get done anyone.

For one small dent like that in a bumper it should be about 50-100 bucks.. if that.

Don't even start with the "kit" talk. I totally would love too, but just had the bumper touched up. Mtech and rims next spring hopefully, but we will have to wait and see as I am planning to propose to my girlfriend at somepoint in the near future, and my forged wheels and mtech kit are tied up in a ring right now. Ah the life of attached guy... Funny thing is my girlfriends Solora has a factory body kit, but when I ask her about the "Mtech" she replies "Your car is sporty enough."

i didnt know paintless dent repair could be done on abs plastic...has anyone had it done? Youd think some molding technique would be used there instead.
