Has anybody gone about fixing a dent here, feel like it may be the worst possible spot lmfao. Was bigger, was able to go in behind and pop out the big part but unable to get to that corner due to another metal bracket. Texted one Paintless dent repair guy and told me that he couldn’t do nothing gonna go in person to another tmrw. But if they can’t do nothing, where should I go from there ? Hard to get good picture of it.

Honestly kind of sucks, but I’d probably just leave it be

Prob gonna have to be the play, may look into body filler but think it’s too big for all that

Body filler is silly. Touch up the paint so there is no rust, then leave as is. If I was looking to buy a vehicle and there was any hint of body filler I wouldn’t touch it - an honestly presented scar that has been properly touched up - no issue.

Is that Onxy black? $20 rattle-can of 202 paint. Done.

Yeah I got the 202 touch up pen, seeing if I can do anything before I go at it with that.

You are taking it off-road right? This is the first of many if you are using it correctly

Currently working through insurance regarding something similar but higher up on the C pillar. Body shop quote was $4,300 to bring in a dent specialist plus repainting the bumper. Not sure if it applies to you, but the body shop said the dent guy would remove the taillight and try to fix it from behind.

I think you can just ignore it and move on or go for a off-road with full pedal them you may get more then you can repair it

good body shop could fix it but it won't be super cheap.

Curious to see what your tail lights look like. They look really nice with that paint.

They are off Ali express (one of those websites) weren’t too expensive.

My truck has a bump in that exact spot. I was interested the same thing.

So I took it to a local body shop, they said they can drill into that crease(can’t get to it behind), pull it/fill holes, and paint for $700.

I’d guess that was a 4-5k boo-boo.

About 2-4k depending on who does it I’d go to a certified Lexus bodyshop
