if they are not on metal bends the dent removal shops usually work pretty well.
i have a kit similar to what they use and it does a great job (its got a glue gun, some dart like devices that are glued to the dent and then a puller)- i am no expert, but have removed several dents - and i have seen dents i could not improve.

I had a dent removed that was right on the front fender crease (above the s2000 plate).

I was amazed at how well it came out and would recommend it in a heartbeat.

I asked the guy your question of "ppl tell me that if only I can tell them why bother" and he said something along the lines of , "i wouldn't care if it were my car, but you cared enough to call me"

i just did paintless dent removal from a guy that was highly recommend in southern california. it was all party of a charity s2000 meet. $50 for up to 2 dents in 1 panel.

It was seriously like magic watching the little door ding come out. i highly recommend it if the dent bothers you.

I recently had a very good experience with paintless dent repair. I bought my s2k used about a year and it came with a couple dents, two very noticeable dents on the rear right quarter panel. When the paintless dent repair guy took a look at the car he showed me many many more than I originally noticed. Here is a before and after pic from the most noticeable dent:

Before:


After:


In total he repaired:
3 dents on the passenger door,
8 dents on the rear right quarter panel,
2 dents on the trunk,
1 dent on the rear left quarter panel

all for 300 bux

Sorry i don't have many pictures, my camera couldn't pick up the smaller dents.

oh btw, I found the dent repair service through craigslist.org

300$ well spent.

That looks great!
