No note or anything. Looks like someone kicked it in or something.

Haven't tried the PDR, about how much does that run? Never had to use that before. Nope no paint missing from the spot at all. And Thanks for the welcome.

definitely not true. PDR comes in many different shapes and sizes

not a PDR tech, but it wouldnt hurt to ask if its repairable...

Get a PDR opinion. And also a body shop estimate.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Such inconsiderate drivers out there.

I'm going to hope PDR works, but if not, it's not going to be cheap Some people just don't deserve to be around cars.

Doesn't look like a kick in, My mom recently had someone literally make a nice foot shaped dent on her Corolla, had a footprint too. Honestly If I see someone doing this to my car I'm running out with a bat and beating the crap out of them, jail or not they get a dent in them. Sorry for your car =[ try PDR

Thanks for all the replies guys, appreciate it. My heart sank when I went outside and saw the dent in my car. Was such a shame too, I always try and be careful , but you can't control what other people do I'm afraid. = ( I'll have to look for a PDR around here, I don't think I've seen one here before, but not sure. I called my insurance as well. They said they would fix the damage, all I would have to pay would be my deductible which is $499. Doesn't sound too high I guess, but still will check on the PDR.

i have a $100 deductible. over the 2.5 years i've had the car, i've used it at least 8 times... -_-

i tried to get PDR for my fender, but they said it wouldnt work due to location. repair is $790. it goes in this friday.

Yep, I would say that is a little worse. Looks like paint is missing as well. I'm guessing whoever did that, didn't leave a note or anything as well? Shame that some people could be like that man. And GL on the repair Kersh4w.
