I've had this huge doording for about 3 years now that drives me nuts. It's
right in the middle of the extended cab portion on the driver's side.
Whomever hit it with whatever really did a number on it. The dent is pretty
large, and it managed to create a little "valley" all the way up to the
windowledge on that side. I had a couple quotes for getting it removed and
was told that it would be between $400 - $800 to get it to look like there
was never anything there - IF it didn't require paint. One day I may get
all the little imperfections taken care of, but the 2 little dents and one
major one are on the last on my long laundry list of stuff to get done to it
one day.
