PDR at any major body shop, as long as there is no creases.

use a suction thingy.. If you're mad about the dent, then why did you hit your car in the first place, no matter how hard it is..

I kicked my old Mustang once. It hurt my foot. That angered me so I kicked it with the other foot. Max:1, Mustang:0

It deserved it... It didn't start when I needed to leave for a job interview.

OK back to topic... don't hit your car.

i learned how fragile japanese cars were back in high school when i knocked on someone's prelude (knock like knocking on a door). i forgot why i was doing it to that dudes car, but i believe i left little dents on the hood of his lude. this wasn't the last gen lude, but the one right b4 it.

i was shocked at how easily a car dents, i mean i pretty much tapped it with my fingers. funny thing is his g/f say it and i told her not to tell, lol.

another time my friends were wrestling around my old 4runner, and made a small dent by pressing against it...

i think the tC's shell is especially vulnerable to dents. look at the big doors with no design, just flat out. that's prone to easy dents.
i learned that the previous generation eclipse's doors (with the horizontal designs) actually functions as dent resistance. pretty cool.

the Tc feels cheap to me, i'm not going to punch it if i get mad, i'm afraid i'll punch a hole straight through the damn car, lol

umm.....just some food for thought. the tC's body panels are NO different than ANY car you buy. unles sits a honda element or chevy avalance, then your car is made of plastic :-p. There are some cars out there, potac being one, that have alot of plastic pieces, but never the less. its thin metal, what the heck to you expect man? if you hit it in the right spot, anything can happen.

all in alll, bad luck, sucks to be you, lesson learned.

know your facts before you go off calling the tC's body a "cheap" body.

Get a Saturn, I'm pretty sure you can punch the sides of thoes and they will bounce right back.
