Think this is PDRable.

I was in class today and when I returned to my Z I had seen that the side marker was missing/broke. I thought maybe it cracked off in the cold some how (idk my brain was fried from school.) I decided to investigate again and after throwing some water on the snow/dirt I seen the horror. There was no paint transfer just these fat dents. Opinions? I'm gonna get an estimate tomorrow.

IMO it's cheaper and will look better to replace the fenders than getting it fixed. They'll hammer it and bondo the thing if you have them fix it. eBay fenders are pretty inexpensive and have good fitment. They come primed and ready for painting. Just make sure it is CAPA certified. Good luck.

Looks like some Di*k took his knee to it!
Good luck

It's difficult to "diagnose" dents over the Intertubes. Take it a competent body shop (or two) and see what they think after doing a hands-on inspection. Good luck.

I got a quote and my PDR guy said it would be about 180$ and he said he can get it looking pretty good. So I'm just going to go with that option.

$180? That' a deal if he can pull it off. Good luck with your repairs. Like others said post up after.

I think he did a pretty damn good job. Saved me from a body shop costs.
