Default Can my fender be fixed?

In this pic you can see a bend at the bottom of the driver side fender.



Just seeing if you guys think this can be fixed preferrably without repaint.

Thanks,
Marc

A paintless dent removal specialist can probably fix you right up for a decent price. The creases usually leave line though

I would recomment taking those fenders to a body shop for repair and paint. Its nothing major, but a paintless dent removal would not be able to remove that huge dent at the bottom of your fender. (the metal is beyonded stretched and would need to be straightened out and reshaped)

thanks, I am still wondering if I should take them as is? They would have to take the fender off the car anyway right?

Its really up to you if you want to take them to the shop on or off your car. If you have a vehicle to take the fenders down as is, then that would work, but you may risk damaging them bringing it back home. I'd rather bolt them on the car and get the body shop to fix it up there. At least they can take them off themselves if needed so, and they can match your paint to the doors and hood.
