Dollar is pretty much on par so unfortunately you probably will find it so.
Drove to work today and was behind this truck, I think my question has been answered

lol, prayers have been answered. Check out their prices. I paid $60 to get 4 minor door dings. I tipped the guy $20, basically he has a customer for life. I watched him do the work took no longer than 30 minutes. Can't even tell I had any sort of dent after he was done.
I had a dent removed but It was caused from a rock that flew from some ones tire. I was going at least 40 mph. Good sized rock hit my driver side fender and ripped my clear bra and left a nasty dent. I brought it to a well known shop locally did a great job but was more expensive than the one I previously mentions was close to $100 just for one dent. I'm sure it was more work. The dent was right above the headlamp. Im sure they had to at least remove the light and fender to get to it.
Let us know how it does with the repair. Keep us informed.
Thanks Good Luck.

got this done by Wizard Paintless Dent removal. They did the most amazing repair as you'll see, absolutely no sign of prior dent, cost $250, took 3 hours. No regrets when you see their work in real life.

Hard Top Inner Liner Rrmoval
Getting this HT shipped over to Australia, was wondering if the repair experts can tell from the pic how easy or not this would be..I'll be taking out the inner liner to help facilitate the repair.

I have a small dent in an otherwise mint hardtop. The best way to repair these, I understand, is from the underside. I noticed that you took “out the inner liner to help facilitate the repair.” How is this done without damaging any of the surrounding parts?
I “have” a dent guy who is an absolute Magician, but I’d like to be prepared to remove the liner in the event that he cannot get the results that I need from the top side. A brief description of the procedure would be most appreciated, and a few accompanying photos would certainly be awesome!
My S2000 is in excellent shape and, until this dent was acquired, is absolutely like new. Please help me out!
Thanks!

Here is how it looks upside down with the window facing the bottom of the pic. You just follow the manual and slowly remove parts until you can get to where you need. You have to be careful with the roof lining as it can crease. The 7 "T" looking holes is where the roof latches on to. You can see how it lines up with the headliner pic. You have to carefully slide it up so it can unlatch and come off. You also have to be careful as older hardtops have rivets that break when taking out the latches and that is a difficult repair to make.
