I don't think you should pay someone to fix this, because it will probably just happen again. I did it when I got mine as well. I went out and got the rugged ridge steel diamond plate cowl covers, painted them black and riveted them on. Looks awesome. I'll try to attach a pic.

I've got one on my driver's side. I've been thinking about buying a dent remover kit, but there's so many different ones I'm not sure what to get. So just been thinking of having someone come out and do it for me. It really annoys me, after I wash her, it sticks out like a sore thumb. How much does this usually cost for someone to do it?

Did this to mine 1st day of ownership.

Found out the hard way it was welded to the panel.

Could not 'pop it' so I drilled it and pulled it out.

Touchup paint and a sticker to cover the hole.

One day I'll fix it right or pay someone else to ...maybe.

I hate kittens they grow up to be cats. Say it again, say it agin.

It may vary from state to state. But for me it was $100. The dent repair shop fixed a dent about a size of a fist in diameter but had 3 different dents in that same vicinity.

That sounds about right, mine is only about the size of a dime. Basically looks like a dimple. Thanks!!!
