DOOM...a dent

yes I came out of a store last week and I got a large dent on the driver's side fender directly above the wheel. Its about the size of a paper plate and the paint is intact...not a scratch or anything. Wondering if I should:

a) use a dent pull thingy (w/e the name was of that one on TV)

b) get it professionally done

c) take off the fender and use a rubber mallet to get it out

d) sumthing I havn't thought of (that one of u may provide)

I think I'm gonna go with c... just wondering if it is that hard to take off the front fender or not...

It depends where exactly the dent is? If it's on the body line of the fender then I would say have a paintless dent removal place do it.

Try Dentwizard. I used them for some door dings and they did an outstanding job.

If you go with one of those dent things on TV, make sure you don't get the DENT KING. I got one to fix all the dents on my 300zx and those things don't do jack ****.
