Ouch. I don't see any creases...I'd seek a paintless dent removal guy just to bend it back to where it needs to be...but I'd obviously reprint it due to scratched gatedness.

Well I pulled the panel and tried to pop it out a little. It is very thin metal and hard to work with. I was able to pop some of the bottom dent out but the top is not having it and is hard to get to it behind the door crash bar. Looks a little better though. I am putting a lot of money into a turbo build and really did not want to spend anything on the cosmetic side. I may try and just get over this and live with it but it hurts my face to look at it. I am definitely going to source a new door since they are so cheap.

Good as new. It is a different white but I don't think most people would notice unless they were looking for it. Swapping doors was way more of a pain in the *** than I anticipated. The speaker in the new door was nicer than I already had so win. I am thinking of gutting the old beat up door and the spare passenger to shells just to have for fun summer days if I can't make a few bucks on CL.![](https://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/general-miata-chat-9/174543-new-door-fix-80-img_7271_00a2343337987ab5e73b473b8ad6f2e188aac3af.jpg?dateline=1466378338)

I am pretty sure the guy I got them from was a friend of James up near Seattle. I also picked up some 15x7 RPF1 wheels. Even if the perfect exact color match door NOS wrapped in plastic magically appear in my driveway I wouldn't do that again. Stupid little plastic clips, tar, small sad spaces. I can live with the very slight shade difference.
