Unhappy Fender Bender

Well... not even a day after I make my account here I get into an accident with my 2010 RX450. Ugh...

I was driving my daughter home from a doctor's appt, she's okay thankfully. A little shaken up but physically fine.

My RX has a decent sized dent, the other driver's Subaru has some damage near the back rear. I can post the pictures if anyone wants to see.

Drive safe everyone

Post pics.
if its not to creased up you can get a decent Paintles dent removal guy to take it out.

Option 2: buy a pre-painted one on ebay
Option 3: buy one from junk yard Car-part.com
Keep in mind option 2 and 3 might not be a perfect match.
the dent removal would be ideal if able to be done.

If paint has not been ripped off and the gloss is still intact, PDR [paintless dent removal as mentioned by Trinilex] would work. The tech uses light source and shadow pattern to create contour lines to inverse the impact.

As far as joining CL and the occurrence of the accident ,, chalk it up as coincidence. We welcome you on board.
