The paintless dent repair guys are pretty good but I'd be amazed if they could fix that. Good luck though. I would be Just looked at the pics again and looks like you're gonna need paint. That sucks man.

Oh man, that looks terrible. I hope UPS owns up to it since they ARE the ones that packaged it. You should be okay in that regards, but you're proabably going to play the waiting game with them. Good luck with the situation.
The waiting game is going to suck..I wanted to install it so bad..now its just going to sit there

o wow, i didnt notice the "dent" until i looked at the pics for a second time. That sucks balls. You do have the fact that ups packaged it so your in good shape in that aspect. But as others have stated, you will be waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more

bad part is doesn't insurance pay the shipper, that is the guy you bought it from gets any settlement, then you have to get it from him? Not sure, but I think that's how it works.

yeah The shipper gets the check. Was insurance put on this item? Thats pretty stupid if they made a big box. They have to put this on a pallet and make a wooden frame around it to protect it. GL with it.
