Somebody's car left their mark on mine in the parking lot last night...

This is the result. I know they're crappy quality pics, but anyone have any idea how much this will cost me to fix? The damage is at least confined to the driver's side door panel. I'll try to take a better pic during the day tomorrow.

man that sucks how deep are the scratches? maybe you can try and buff it out?

I think they're deep enough that they won't buff out. But that still leaves me with the dent to deal with.

That's a nasty deal. Sorry man. I ALWAYS park my car far from any others even if its an inconvenience haha. Hey at least I get my exercise this way. :P Good luck!

I do, too, when I can. Didn't have a lot of options last night, though.

There is a big dent. Man, maybe these pictures are even worse than I thought.

damn sorry to see that, if it too deep you going to need to bring it to a body shop

Ouch at least its in the center of the door so the body shop, if they respray, may be able to shoot that one area and blend it with the rest of the panel.

Additionally PDR + a good bodyshop/detailer may able to repair that for you without a full respray and just touch up + wetsanding. Not perfect, but prob 95% better.

Best of luck, sorry to see that happen.

Hmm... thanks for the info. So what do you estimate that would cost? (best case to worst case scenario)

^ like he said That dent can be PDR. As for the scratches. I dont think thatll buff out. Had a scratch similar on the fender of my s2000 and i ended up respraying the whole panel

Where did that happen at? Might be cheaper to see what your insurance deductible is....

My deductible is $500. I'm hoping it won't be much more than $500... and if it's not, I'm obviously not going to bother dealing with an insurance claim.

That's why I'm asking here. I'll get an estimate soon, but I was hoping someone might have a rough idea for me of about how much this should cost.

I was asking where it happened because maybe they have surveillance cameras around? I'm sure you already thought about this.
