Looks like someone smacked the bottom corner of my rear passender side fender, minor paint (not even through the first layer, no primer showing) damage but it has like an 8 inch cave in. Anyone have any idea how much its gonna cost to get it pounded back?

just a rough est?

 

If there is no paint problems, I would try the paintless dent repair route. The day I bought my Solstice we left the dealership and went to an Applebees and someone hit my drivers door with there door. I called Dent Doctors and he fixed the dent for $60.00... it took about 20-30 min and you cannot tell a dent ever existed. He told me if he can get to the backside of the dent he can get it out. No matter how big the dent. hopefully this helps a little.

 

the dent is in a place that requires the removal of the panel. 1000 bucks.

great.

 

I had a similar situation and found a paintless dent repair outfit that used a hot glue attachment on the outside of the panel to "pull" the dent out.

Good Luck
