I will see about getting a picture of it in the couple of days. You can certainly feel the distortion, and can tell when light reflects off it that something isn't right. It may be hard to capture in a picture though.
Try the Dent Wizard, they do some amazing work. They got a ding out of my wife's former MDX and the ding was right on a wheel well crease.

You are having awful luck... first this, then your tire, now a ding!

I know... the month of May was not kind.

Anyway, here are a few shots, it was dark out and the point-and-shot wanted to use a 1/8 second shutter speed, so excuse the quality.

It obviously doesn't look this bad in normal light, but it does distort reflections and is fairly noticeable, the only good thing is it is low on the door.

Anyway, here they are:

Definitely give the Dent Wizard type business a try. If they are reputable and the dent is outside their capability, they should tell you before they touch the car. I know a guy on this end of the state (Springfield area), but not on your end.

I have read some decent things about Dent Ambulance out of Newton, basically a one man show as far as I can tell, so you know you have the experienced person doing the work. I just sent an email for a quote, but I am not sure how accessible the backside of area is, assuming they need access to it.

Sometimes if they can't access it they will drill a small hole (with your permission) on the inside end of the door under the latch area. When they're done they plug it with a grommet so you can't tell.

But he may be able to just pop the panel off and get it that way.
