so I am pretty sure the body shop wouldnt order an ENTIRE new door as they would have to custom install my speakers and run all the wires again, etc.. so what would they do to fix an outside dent?

is there a way to get the outside panel of the door off?

anyone have any kind of detailed instructions?

They take off the outside pannel and pound it out then fix the paint
P.S. this is alot harder then it sounds smile.gif

If you pound it out, you will still have a crease, and it wont look decent at all, you will have to bondo it a bit, than sand and paint...
