Unhappy Had a bad Monday...

Went to pull steaks out of the freezer in the garage, one of the packages slipped and dented the $hit out of my front fender. I'm looking for a paintless dent removal company in my area as I'd like to try that option as I am quite sure the cost to replace the painted fender will be excessive!!!

OUCH! I'll bet the steaks weren't as good as they might have been! Good Luck with the dent!

Musta been a 20 rib roast that was dropped a distance to cause a dent like that.

Wow! I bet you said out loud- How inconvenient! Or maybe something a little more harsh!

I feel your pain brother. Bought a used 2008 SG and paint was full of tiny scratches. Stripped all painted parts and inner fairing off took and had them painted and clear coated. Re-installed all the parts looked perfect. Second ride of year (a few days after re-assembly) . I had bike parked and some a**hole backed over the front fender and crushed it in. Then left without sayng a word. Talk about angry. Especially since I had them add some blue pearl to the clear to make the black pop better. So in end I got fender off without taking off wheel. Found a good painter. He charged me $300 but had it repaired and repainted in 3 days. Did a perfect job so I was satisfied. Still out $300 but could have been way worse so being the eternal optimist I got over it

Not many guys that can say that their meat dented their front fender!!!


That'll start a few conversations.

It was 2 frozen solid ribeyes (which were very good). I didn't react at all except to think WTF?!?! I couldn't believe the dent the meat made. Luckily the paint does not appear damaged so I am hoping the dent can be popped. If not and I have to replace the fender I am not sure what the cost will be as I am sure I'd have to order a painted part in order for the paint to match.
