Fixable?
So some guy or girl backed into me while I was parked on the street. Such bs and left no note. So I was wondering if anyone here who knows about body work can tell me if this is PDRable or needs replacement.

I don't think lips or edges are able to be repaired very well, but I don't see how they couldn't make it look better.

Do what anyone else would do? Take it to a reputable body shop and get a quote and opinion.

Find a small local dent guy and see if he can mend it. They can also give u better advise on where/who to fix if he can't. Thumbs up for boosting local business.

kind of blurry, but doesn't look like any serious paint damage. I had a dent that looked almost in the same location on the wheel arch, just slightly lower and on the door side of the passenger rear. No real way to get behind it, and it needed paint, multiple shops quoted me between $1000 and $1200. I bought a $20 pops a dent and got it back to 95% and used some primer and touch up. If you look around you might find a used front fender from someone going wide-body.

A good PDR guy will be able to get that back to about 90%. There will likely be a little blip on the crease they can't get but most people won't see it. From what I can tell in the pictures the paint damage "will just buff out" (for real this time)

Looks doable bro!!! Don't even sweat it. PDR is pretty good of there are no creases from the impact.

+1 for ding and dent repair. They have done wonders for my old car when something similar happened. And it's not very pricey.
