What are these "Dent People" you speak of?

I have one similar to yours so I would like to know how you go about fixing it and how much it actually cost.

The paint less dent removal people.
I really don't like re-spraying the car if not needed.
Found some doors on ebay but they're like $1000 each

lol $1000 might as well be 1million for me haha.
I figured I just had to live with the dent for the rest of my life. Let me know what they quote you. Mine is like 3in long but vertical.

from what I have seen, if the paint is not broken, and the dent is not on the edge, they can get it out for couple hundred bucks. They charge by the panel and not by the amount of dents.

I think it all depends on the knowledge of the person, and the severity of the damage on how it will come out though

Good luck with that dent. I had door dings pulled out by the pointless dent folks as well but a dent like this with that crease makes me wonder if it's possible on your door....

been slacking with the headlights; since the car is going to the body shop to get the door creases fixed, I got the courage today to bake them and take them apart so they can get custom painted.

Was scared shitless I'd melt them, but mission acomplished

for some reason the last 2 tsx steering wheels
(from my 11 and my current 13) have been peeling and seperating.

Dealer wont replace it, says its wear and tear, i think it's cheap leather they use. So i figure the uk version might be better quality

So was the steering wheel install difficult? I think my dealer quoted me $100 for the swap, so I was trying to figure if it's even worth my time. It looks amazing.
