sorry but you guys nuts.LOL 400-500bucks for repair... your way off... and drilling/pull a dent is only done to rear body panels that you can not access the rear.
the fender simply unbolts and you can access the rear...
with a rubber hammer and some kinda foam or soft carpet...
simply unbolt the fender, pull the side skirt because theres 2 bolts under the skirt that hold the fender on. i believe its 4bolts ontop of engine bay, 1 or 2 bolts behind the plastic splash guard near the headerlights rear and the philips screw that holds the front bumper cover on as well. and then 1 bolt in the door jam- open door to access at the top, and then the fender should simply pull off.
you could try to kinda rubber hammer it out on a soft surface to prevent scratching up the paint while taping the back with the LARGE rubber hammer.
dont just wack a mole on it! you dont want to stretch the metal any worse than it is already...
start at the center and work your way out... if your lucky it will mostly pop out... dont expect it to look as new because the paint is most likely cracked at those crease points... plug no way to make it perfect again without bondo and paint work...
if youd like i do have a silver fender id sell.... only thing that was damaged on it from the wreck was the front upper mounting tab.... can be simply bent back to fit the car with no problems... the exterior is undamaged besides the stick on reflector.LOL simply remove with a heat gun and goo gone glue remover.

i upgraded my 96-98 coupe front end to a 99-00 front end so i no longer need it myself.
