Anything else I need to know? Thanks everyone.

$3400? That shop is very pricey. I would shop around if I were you

i have something like that on my car...the estimate was some hugh amount of money like that too...the said the had to copletely replace both doors...

 

[Admiral]

yeah, thats what they said too - have to replace the door. Its a honda oddessy with those stupid automatic sliding doors so they are expensive.

 

[Your Uncle Moe]

Can you get pics up and Ill see if theres any way I can show you on how to DIY.

 

[TheMajesticking]

I think we can fix it.

 

[Admiral]

Doesn't look too bad in the pics, but here they are

 

[2wickedtoyz]

if you can remove the interior you can probably tap them out. as long as the door works i don't see a reason to replace the whole thing remember bondo is your friend. and if it isn't on the insurance that says it was damaged it never happend you feel me?

 

[Foolish86]

those look like gashes rather than dints to me...if it is a gash is going to be a bitch to tap them out if you can do it.

 

[Your Uncle Moe]

I have the SAME exact gashes on my right side.

 

[Admiral]

yup, gash is definatley a better word to use. thats why i was thinking bondo

 

[stock93cam]

I have the SAME exact gashes on my right side.

yep me too...middle of the front passenger door to the middle of the rear passenger door

btw thats a honda...why would you want that fixed...hondas suck...jk...my family has too ... :disappoin
