My mom appropriately gave it the nickname "Dent Factory".

Damn....such a beautiful car and all those dents. I always park my car far away or in corner spots. Also never park next to two door cars or park in grocery stores where the surrounding car's trunks are close to you, chances are the shopping carts will hit your car. I also tend not to park next to SUVs as well always park backwards at least to save the driver's side. But I try to do whatever I can to avoid dents on my baby. I would def try to get those dents out they are an eyesore, but a beautiful car.

Nice drop, wheels and tires. For the dents just call one of those Dent Wizard guys, or paintless dent removal. Car will be like new again.

i was quoted ~60-100 for a single door ding. it all depends on how much work is involved and if the panel needs to be removed so the dnet can be worked out from the inside. they basically told me i had to bring it in for them to look at to get an accurate estimate.

Easy fix for door dings...

If the paint or metal isn't creased, heat up the area with a hair dryer for a minute or 2 then hit it with some cold butane. It'll pop right out.

But again, this is only if there isn't a visible crease.

It's about $80 a panel around here. $160 to restore that is worth it IMO...with a bit of haggling you can definitely get it for a bit cheaper than that...

Got the dents for parking in a high school parking lot, having a flashy car at a young age, and in one case, dented with a bat by someone looking for a fight. Most of the dents I got, ironically, I got them at the far end of the parking lot where I used to work where no one ever parks. I don't know how that works ..

I don't drive like an ass, act like an ass nor do I park like one .. just the thought of a young kid having an Acura like this makes people's blood boil. I don't understand the mentality, but whatever. The biggest dent you see to the right of the door, my sister got one day after I loaned it to her since her truck was in the shop. When I saw it, my scream of "WHAT THE FUCK?!" could've been heard at the moon.

I hate dents. When I got my CL it had a couple dings on the passenger side which I was pretty OK with since I didn't see that half nearly as much. Then one day I walked out and had a similar moon-hearable "what the fuck!" moment when I saw my virgin driver's door had a nice smack in it. Asshats.

Question about the ding removal - is it hard/impossible to get one out of that crease in the top half of the door?

Damn! that sucks big time .... Such a beautiful car/color. I had mine done last summer I had few of them even though I parked so far away from ''ASS-HOLES''. I got hooked-up by the dealer where I purchased my CL, I paid $90 for both sides my probably (5 dents???). They usually charge $45 each!

Gorgeous car, sucks about the dents. Blows that body work is so expensive.

Do you live in CO, per chance? Love the mountains in the background.

If it makes you feel any better, a few days ago some fuckbag douchewad in a white Explorer decided it'd be fun to open his door into my passenger side, leaving not only a sizable dent but also a sample of his white paint.

I hate careless people. Just because you don't give a crap about your POS doesn't mean I don't care about mine.
