Talk to your dealer about Ding Doctors. Most dealers use these "Paintless Dent Repair" guys when new cars come in off the trucks with minor dings and such. They'll remove the ding for about a hundred bucks. My condolences, though. I don't have any dings just yet (knock on wood) but my 98 GS-R was COVERED in them when I traded it in.

I know what you mean. I just found one on my car the other night. Can figure out were it came from except possibly my work's parking lot which pisses me off even more since almost everyone here has a "nice" car. You'd think that they would be more careful. Okay accidents do happen, if so, tell me I'm not going to kill someone over and accident, but to not ackowledge it and just walk away!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH

dude, the car is made of aluminum...not rubber like a Saturn or something. Your just gonna have to live with it.

My aegean blue CL-S had a very slight ding on the drivers door when I took delivery in June. I raised hell about it saying I wouldnt take delivery of the car unless they took care of it. Needless to say they had the dent wizard come to my office two days later to pull it out. I had the dent wizard pull out dents before on my 99 cl 2.3. The trick is to find them working on cars at a dealership. Usually they will cut a better deal on the spot rather then calling them and making an appointment. Most of the time they charge by the panel, so i would hold out until u have more dings and then have the service done. BTW $30 a panel was the best price i ever got

welcome to the door ding club...i have 4 dings and i have no idea how they got htere, i just noticed them one day and i was pissed off for a week...i try not to look anymoe till i get them fixed, but they are too noticeable..

to anyone who has to park in a parking lot, the eastwood company makes a magnetic door molding to prevent dings, simply stick it on when parked, remove it and throw it in your trunk when you drive

What is this door molding. I assume it just protects the edge of the door.
I ahve two dings in my passenger door and one in my drivers. It sucks, They all happened in mall parking lots , even though I pasrk far away , one person always manages to park right next to me , even though there are 1000s of free spaces all over

haha, do a search buddy on "parking habits" or some sh*t like that and check out what some people posted..... i park on like the fourth floor of my parking garge at work just so no one "dings" my car. Or i try to park next to a beam or a wall, that way i slice the chances of getting one by 50%. Other than that your car is an open target.

thholr

yeah , I do the same. I found one spot that is in the corner of the parking deck. it is between two posts , so no one can park next to me. Now I need a setup like this at malls and other shopping establishments.

Call Dingman as they are called in most big cities

have you seen the certified used lexus commercial where the lady collects all the shopping carts in the parking lot and then you see her car surrounded by them and she just walks off all smiling! Hummmm, not a bad idea

acura_service

its a magnetic body side molding you put on your car, its only to protect it from dings, before you drive away from the parking lot, you remove it and put it in your trunk
