So long story short, I ran over a rock that moved when my tire hit the far side of it like a teeter totter and it kinda got my car stuck, resulting in the dent below. I can get another angle is needed, but I think I can either take my fender off and bend it back from the inside, or heat it up and push it back? Any thoughts?

I would get a PDR professional to take care of it (unless it's something that you want to tackle yourself). Honestly, it looks relatively un-maimed (no scrapes, or bad damage to the paint) other than the dent which should be correctable, and easily accessed from the wheel well for a clean PDR procedure.

Well, @MalcolmHimself ..... from Sumner, as you found out, this car is not a good off road vehicle.....

You cannot retrace the entire Naches trail from Spanaway to the other side of the Cascades in your BRZ.

However, you can take on this section.

Do you know where that is ..... ??

Seriously, as @Ammunition suggested, I'd get good PDR person to fix it. They will make it look as good as new ......

Unless you want to come over to Puyallup and I'll get my BFH and crowbar out and pound it out for you and finish it off with a rattle can of old white paint that I have .......

Pdr or buy a side skirts to go over the damage. Or leave it and wait for a junkyard find.

Thanks, yeah there are like two little scrapes in the paint but it's not to bad, should be an easy touch up

I thought about sideskirts but knowing it was there under it would bug me x.x

invest in a pair of side skirts

it a win win for you

hide the dent and make your car that much more badass!!

Don't bother calling a pdr guy on this. You have easy access to the back of the panel and it's in an inconspicuous area of the car. If your buddy's a pdr guy and just loves to practice for free then by all means leave him to it.

um yeah sure.

Just get side skirts or wait for a junkyard find. You can spend 5-600ish for some painted cwest skirts or you can pay that same amount and get a new fender painted. Or go even cheaper and buy some random ebay ones and leave them unpainted.

that might be a hard for PDR. But like everyone above says, invest in side skirts.
