Yeah, just take to a dent removal specialist. I have a couple on mycar too! One more and I'm taking it straight to a body shop.
PS. I hope you're not planning to do those diy dent removals going around online. I have yet to see them work first hand tho. I hear some even damages the paint (e.g. the dry ice method) Yikes!

lol you could try heating it up with hair dryer and then spraying it with liquid carbon dioxide (very cold!) by holding keyboard cleaner upside down... the quick change from hot to cold supposedly removes dents... but as jurassic said it might do more harm than good, but hey you get the same effect as the dry ice method with out having to touch your paint so its up to you
good luck with what ever you do :-)

lol dammn you alan... anyway i have the same dent, that i think is from friends too, they dont like rest their **** on it gently enough when they lean i guess. lol but to whoever said remove the inner panel, wont work. once you remove the interior door panel, there is a metal frame welded onto the inner door, which blocks acess to the outer part of the door where the dent lives.

why would you suggest something that can do more harm than good?! you shouldnt even be allowed to post
just call a paintless dent repair and have them do it... you can always bargain with those guys anyways... i got mine screwed up on the body line right beneath my mirror and it took him an hour to do it but i only gave the guy $75
dont try the stupid crap that guy above suggested unless you KNOW its been proven tested and you saw it with your own eyes...

calm the f*ck down man. I saw it done in a video online, I'm just sayin I've never tried it and wouldnt stand by it. There is no question that he should get it done professionally, jurassic's comment just made me think of that technique so I felt like mentioning it.
