    so someone leaned on my hood and dented it.. its not that bad but something told me to check it after they did it.. its a good friend and i know she ment no harm..

    you know when someone pushes on your hood or door and it pops in and pops back out.. well this poped in but didnt come back out.. i cant take pics cause its really hard to see.. u hafve to be at the right angel to see it.. does anyone know if a dent shop can take care of this? i took it to my detailer and he said its a "wrinkle" but its 2 circles... so.. can anyone shed some light? please

    I put a TINY dent in my ex-bf's Jetta, it was a small circle probably just a bit bigger than a dime.

    It cost $125 to fix for some stupid reason, but pretty much any dent can be fixed if you're willing to pay for it.

    the hood is basically pop metal.. i poped my hood and hit it from the otgher side and one came out.. the other i cant get out because its directly over one of the brackets under the hood.. ill get it checked tmrw

    like NEMO said use one of those suction cup things they have them at autozone i had a dent on my fender and it popped it out as good as it was going to do. give it a try the guy let me use t to see if it worked and it did. but its like $5.00

    My bro hit a car on my moms SUV backing up and it got a dent in there. All we did was took a hot air gun or a regular hair dryer, heat up that area, and then push it in from inside. It should pop right into place. IT did for us at least, and the dent was quite big...

    well i took it to mitsu (the auto body dept) the guy was really cool.. he said i can get that out no prob.. he took MOST of it out.. now its REALLY hard to see.. but im really anal about my car.. so im thinkin of just paying the 75 he said he would charge to fix it.. he said its bent up and down (like a sack of potatoes) is how he put it.. its not just dented in.. but bent.. the alluminum on the hood is bent.. i said will it be 100% if i have you fix it and he said if u keep ur car spotless (i always do) then yea you will still see a little bit of a wrinkle in the hood.. i dunno guys.. what do you think? im thinkin of just buying a carbon fiber hood.. OR fix it, i really wanna fix it then later on down the road get a CF hood.. so uhm.. i dunno.. it looks really good right now though.. i might just leave it alone...

    no matter what, u'll always be able to see that dent if you look really hard enough, it's almost impossible to get rid of it... but of course if done right it should be nearly impossible to tell unless u knew exactly where it was and looked really hard
