It may be the small dent but i just got this thing and it's bothering the hell out of me!

any idea how much this would cost me to fix?

I would get a quote from a bodyshop near you. It depends if they can do a paintless dent repair on your car. For me, I have the ISC, so the second week i had it, my cousin jumped in and dented the side of my car lol. The dent isnt big, but the panel has to be removed to be fixed, so bodyshops are charging 500-600 for the small dent.

It's on the corner and on the bumper which isn't metal, paintless dent repair (dent pulled and massaged out) isn't going to work well here, if they can do it at all.

It's not so much a dent, this looks more like a crease.

Best going to a body shop, a trusty one as this will more than likely need to be heated and reshaped or filled and sanded.

OH haha, I thought it was the side skirt for some reason.. I agree with you LX.

If you want, you can upgrade your bumper to a JDM one or use a diffuser that may cover it up too.

From experience... I know all too well exactly where that dent is and what the outcome will be for OP
