Will this dent pop out?

My brother dropped his bike on my car.

This is the aftermath. Basically I wanna know if I could hammer this out or something?

Fenders are becoming rare to find...

It should but not completely a good dent removal company should be able to get it to where it is barely noticeable.

That's not bad at all. Minimal creasing, if any. The fenders are easy on/off, I would pop that out myself....gently.

fenders are $95 new from Mazda!

that should actually pop out pretty well though, take off the mud guard, and you should be able to get at both sides

Thanks for the input guys, you're giving me piece of mind.

My baby had zero dents prior to this accident, I wanna keep it that way. Shes just sitting there on "non-op" now that I am riding a motorcycle. I feel so bad, but I cant let her go LOL.

The number of salvageable FBs in the junkyard dwindle by the month. So going to a pick n pull would be 50/50 for fenders.

I will try to pop it out with a rubber mallet of some sort.

and good to know that they are only $95!

yes, it should be pull out by using stud puller. These type of dents are normally removed by using painless dent removal methods. so, you must have to use any good paintless dent removal technique for effective output.

One advantage to banging it out vs replacement is that you save the original paint, which looks to be both original and in great shape on that car.

I've banged out much worse on a front fender and they came out really well, you'd have to look really close to see anything had happened. Use a rubber mallet and wood blocks, no metal edges, after removal from the car.

It is not a very bad dent, it looks like it should be pop out very easily using paintless dent removal techniques. These type of dents on fender are very common and pop out by effectively by any good auto repair shop in a short time period.
