congratulations to all, including my self that has successfully completed the mirror mod.

ive opted to keep mine (on both sides), my thinking is that if i was able to pull it off once, im probably going to do it again and will end up spending x amount of time trying to fix it again only to have it happen at a later date, then fix.........

and before any tries, unfortuantely the heat gun and can of Freeze trick doesnt work on the mirror mod.

I am also guilty of the mirror mod. Only on the driver side. It was 5am and pouring out as i stumbled out of the house to put the doors on and top up. Put the doors on and went to grab the top to put up. WHAM. oops.

Look in the phone book for an ourfit like Dentmasters or something. They have a process where they go in behind the panel with probes and work the dent out. I used to be in the car biz and when reconning the cars that went on the used car lot we had to do that to most of them. Sometimes they have to drill a small hole to get access to work the dent out; but they do it in a place were it won't be noticed and then plug the hole.

If you can't find somebody stop in at a few successful looking used car lots and ask if they know somebody that does it. What I've seen these guys do is amazing. In your search somebody who says they do paintless dent repairs probably does this type of repair.
