any suggestions on this dent

so a couple of months ago my car was in a hit and run. Left a pretty good size dent in the car. was seeing if anyone knew how i could pull this out, well make it look better.

That is the driver side, side panel. The door was pretty dented as well but managed to make it look better

dent... more like crushed. it would be alot of work to try and fix whats there but it really needs a new quarter or grafted section.

^^^^ exactly! a new quarters only like 150 bucks and you could probably do it yourself, with a little welding skills and a bit of filler. or you could try to buff it out....

It's not BONDO, it's lightweight aerodynamic body enhancer.

And yes you need a 1/4 panel and at least a door skin. IMO

Re: any suggestions on this dent

Your best bet would be a new 1/4. The time and effort it would take to fix that, along with reforming the body lines, is waaaay more than it's worth. and that's more than just a dent
