Would you fix a small ding?

I know that there is 1 slight small ding it's barely noticeable, its around the left front end of the car, right above the left front wheel well. It's been there for 6 months and I don't really want to spend money to fix it, but sometimes it annoys me when I wax the TSX or park it in the garage and at various angles you can see the the slight 1 inch very small ding.

How much do you think that would cost to fix that small small ding at a paintless dent removal place? I'm thinking possibly my ex-gf may have did it or at the outlet mall parking because people don't care about your car there. But, I don't know how you can get a ding so far up near the left wheel well. So, would you fix it?

I would!!! Actually the guy I go to fix door dings charges me about $40-$50 to remove the unsightly looks of door dings.

you might want to try working with dry ice first if the ding is really small.

I have a similar ding, right smack in the middle of the wheel well on the left rear side. Its just a push-in, no paint chip or surface broken, but its right on the little outward seam. Not very noticeable to anyone except for me. I think about fixing it but I know that there will come another one to take its place. Dings, unfortunately, are a part of car ownership. I can spend $$ chasing dings but it seems to me a never ending chase. I've learned to live with the little ones.

a friend of mine pointed one out on my car this weekend. it's on the passenger-side back door. it's the smallest dimple....no chip or scratch. but it's so annoying. it's gonna happen when you park in public places like lots or garages.

i think after i amass a few, i'll take the car in to get them fix. i just hope i don't get a really bad one that'll require a new paint job on a door or something.
