Yaris front fender damage

[dasnake]

Someone hit my front fender in a parking lot and left the scene. There is a decent sized dent on it, but no major scratches on it. I've read that I could remove the fender and use body shop hammers to bang out the dents. ($35 at harbor freight). Anyone have any experience banging out dents? Is it easy to remove the fender?


The alternative is to buy a aftermarket primed fender for about $60 shipped. But then I would have to get it painted.

Here is a pic of the damage.
