Default Body Damage, minor

I have dinged the pinch seam below the driver's door. How hard is that to cut and replace. Last week on the passenger's side I was mudding and slid into a bent tree which dinged the frame between the doors about half way up the windows.
Everthing still works fine. Fix or Forget?

Cover exposed metal with some rattle can and throw some rubi rock rails on, you'll never notice. That's what I'd do if it was that minor.

Would be nice to see a pix, so we could reply to your question better.

Without seeing a pix, I cannot tell if you bent the pinch seam below the door, or the door frame up by the windows. You are referring to both in your post but not sure which is which. We also cannot see how bad the damage is without pix, to tell if it can be covered up with a rail.

Good luck.

After seeing the pictures I personally wouldn't bother with a professional repair. I would prep, prime and paint all the the damaged area. Throw some armor over it and call it a day. If you wheel you're bound to get damage eventually, it would suck to hit the same area after spending $$$ cause that won't be cheap.
