Go to grab a soda, come out, and see this on my car...
Looks like an ******* hit my car with their door, noticed, and sped off before I came out.

Does anyone know how do fix this, and how much it would cost me?

SUCKS!!!

Pretty positive a paintless dent removal service should be able to get that out. Much cheaper/better alternative to respray for dents like that.

Oh man... I hate that, people just have no respect for nice cars anymore.

I agree with ZeeCar, that looks 'round' enough that a good PDR guy could remove any trace it was ever there probably only cost you around $100 or less IMO. Had a similar ding taken out of my TBSS and the guy charged me $75. When he was done I couldn't even find where it was.

I have one in the same spot but mine is very minor. I was quoted $100 for PDR. They would have to drill in the wheel liner to get access though. People suck

Are they able to fill the hole they have to drill with no problems?

I'd check with the store to see if they have security cams to see if you could get a license plate for the low life that did that.

Isn't the fender just bolted on? Maybe a little more work, but I would unbolt it.

I hear it's welded on, so no unbolting there.

They didn't catch it on camera... Was one of those times the camera is pointed at the wrong spot at the wrong time.

Sorry I meant the wheel liner... (you're right on the fender, you can't remove without cutting it out)

Hmm, not sure, haven't looked for ways to unbolt the liner, I will tomorrow when I have some light and not so tired.

They usually drill a hole then plug it with a rubber plug. If you can get access to the back that's all they need.

The fender is about the flimsiest sheet metal panel found on the car and its bolted on,not welded,which is also how it got dinged so easily. PDR should be able to take that out, although its hard to tell from your pics if the body line was pushed in as well, in which case it would cost a little more. In any case, Sorry to see that :shakes head:

By fender they mean that's the rear quarter or rear fender.
