Long crease dent in door.
So I got my TL type S about a week and a half ago and there is a lengthy crease dent in the driver side door. Anyone know of a cost effective way to remove these types of dents?

Worst case scenario, you can always buy a replacement door for under $200 that's come off a wrecked TL.

If the dent is located near a body line or by bracing it can be very difficult to remove. Call up a few bodyshops and ask who they use for PDR and you'll get some contacts and hopefully a better quote. A guy quoted me $500+ for a dent that was repaired for $60 by another PDR specialist. The same guy charged me $300 to remove all dents on my BMW 760 (at least 4 were there).

Also here are some pictures that were requested.

They dont show up easily in pics but they still are noticeable irl especially with the right lighting, but I'm gonna get this wrapped and I want those fixed before that

Too wide for PDR in my opinion. Unfortunately you're probably stuck finding a body shop. A used door may be cheaper, but you'll still have to paint & blend unless its an exact match.

I have all doors on a 2005 SSM Base. See my part out thread, looking for $150 per front door. $100 per rear door.

^to be clear, the 05 TL is SSM (Satin Silver Metallic)
and the Type-S is ASM (Alabaster Silver Metallic)
to the untrained eye, they'll both look silver...
BUTT, if you swap doors YOU'll BE ABLE TO TELL! as the SSM has more blue flake and the ASM is more of a silver(or vice versa, I forgot which one is the darker of the two.)
