Default Fixing Fender Damage? Crease/Dent

Hey guys, I'm looking for some tips on any way to roll out this crease/dent in my fender (if it's even possible). So far I've talked to two bodyshops; One wanted $900 in labor which I know isn't unheard of but I'd really rather avoid, and the other would charge less for labor but recommended replacing the bumper as well after seeing the pictures (I didn't get a chance to show him the car in person yet).

Let me know what you guys think, or if there are any good tips or tricks to roll out this bump properly. I know I may be barking up a dead tree here.

I'll be replacing the bumper soon, and may post more pics of the damage after pulling the bumper tomorrow/Thursday if it leaves more to show.

Definitely cheaper and will look better to just buy a new fender and bumper. Pretty sure the fenders are $250 brand new and the bumper is pretty decent as well (never priced a ap1 oem bumper though). You'll have minimal bondo and it will look so much better. You could buy a used fender or bumper but sometimes it can be more to change the color. Tabs on the bumper are likely broken and even straightened the fender may not line up right either.

Alright thanks, sounds like that's the route I'll go in then
