Yet another hit and run
Well, it was only due time that I'll experience a hit and run. Long story short, I came home, parked my car around 3am. Next day, I got up, walked to my car, and someone gave me a little suprise. No, "I'm sorry, and here's my information for you to claim insurance note". I would assume someone backed into my car as they was pulling out the driveway, or someone pulling in to the driveway and using it as a turnaround. Anyone know if this dent can be popped back out? As you can see, there's really no stripped paint? Maybe someone can point me to the right direction to get this fixed cheap...(stupid_dent?) or any other folks that can pull a dent out for cheap? On with the pictures;

Ouch, looks like someone got too close during a u-turn or parking attempt, and then tried to go for it, but failed! Looks easily fixable, but probably won't be able to be done by those PDR guys since it is on the edge of the fender. Unfortunately, fenders are not cheap to repair if you want it done right. Sorry for your loss bro.

you can pop that out with your hand, my fender was worse, mangled and creased and dented from when i reversed over a curb+mudflap pulling the fender apart between the tire. and i straightened it all out by hand. Yours is super easy to fix.
I would take it off, heat it up with a blow dryer and get a towel (for more surface area than hand) and rub the backside until it evens out, the roll the fender lip back in.
PS are your fenders even rolled? lol yet you still fit those hella flush wheels under them!

Just roll by and start reving your car in the middle of the night. EVERY night.

Hell yeah it does, I was super pissed right after I saw that. I was yelling in the middle of the street. Saying F this, F that, F all your Beeches that doesn't know how to drive. And finally F the neighbors, just because it CAN be them.

dude, PM Ballz.
I just took my car to him over the weekend to paint my bumper and add red piping to the grills. It came out very, very nice.
Don't want to hijack your thread with a pic of my car so you can just look at my thread about hitting the cone.

Yup looks like my car right now. Someone hit me in a parking lot on Saturday. Keep in mind I just got the damn car back from a lady hitting me running a red light and causing over 13K in damage. Anyhow...
I had the same dent on the fender, plus I have some nasty scratches. I was able to pop that dent, the one you have, by hand and it looks like nothing happened.
It was super easy. Just remove the Wheel Guard and press that section out. It will pop right back. You should not have to force it too much. From the looks of it you'll be fine.
I just picked up some paint to do my own touch up on the scratches, along with some other things such as compound and so forth. I plan on fixing everything this weekend.
I think you can do it all on your own!
