    Hey all, I've seen a few people posting about looking for a place to do PDR. My friend's dad works at a place over in St. Paul. I guess that the club has actually done this at their shop before. (I think it's Finishing Touch, but I'll have to double check).

    Either way, I talked to him about setting up another day for mnsubaru club, at a special price. I'm looking to get an idea how many people might be interested in this, so I know if I should pursue it any further.

    So, start the hand raising!

    I'm in for 1 car for sure. I have at least 6 small dings I know of. Maybe 2 other cars also.
    Would it be per dent, per panel or a case by case thing?

    I'm not quite sure what the deal would be yet. I should be able to find out more on Monday.

    At the moment it's just a thread to see if the interest is there to set a day like this up. It would probably be a Saturday though.

    Yup, I might be in on this. Dave @ Finishing Touch has been my man for a couple of years now.

    Awesome work.

    Tom....do you think my dent would come out just with PDR, cause it is in a awkward spot?

    The one on the driver's side by the rear door? That one can't be fixed via pdr unfortunately due to the placement. Otherwise it wouldn't be there. ;)

    FYI, I've actually had about 15 dings and dents taken out of your car from the guys @ Finishing Touch over the years I had it.

    i remember that group buy that justin hosted. Me and fong went that day, but some of of you guys already left. It took him at least an hour for two penals on my previous rs and i had 15 dings on each penals. He did it very fast and paint safe, he also mention that he could stop by on any location to work on the car anytime you set an appointment. And it was 50 bux per panel.....I'm willing going to that company again. But i don't remember the number...Hey justin is anywho who that company name was call? pmed me

    I'll be seeing Dave again tomorrow, and I'll let him know that there's quite a bit of interest. He'll talk to his boss monday hopefully about the deal. I'll remind him that it was $50/panel.

    have one annoying ding near my rear tail light that I wouldn't mind taking care of. I feel like I should have more than 1 to do this, but whatever, if it's a good deal, I'll do it.

    I haven't forgotten about this guys. The shop is trying to figure out when will work for them. I believe that it will be the same deal as last time.

    I could use some PDR. I have a few door dings that came with my 9-2X Aero.
