I bought a bunch of powerful magnets for a science experiment, these things can break skin when snap together haha. I will try this on my current frs and also on my starion! thank you haha.

this was on my driver side front fender btw..

used a plain white paper and used a marker to make lines using a ruler so i can see the dent..

after marking the dent i pop the 3 screws under the fender wheel cover so i can get behind it.. i used a magnet and stuck it on the back inside fender and used a metal ball diff from my RC remote control car as you can see that metal ball so i know what aera to push out the dent from the back then i put some tape so i can feel the exact aera from the back and took the magnet off.

used a hair dryer to heat up the dent a bit to make it soft and pushed the dent from the back with some rounded screw drivers tips and the end of the handle of the screw driver was nice and round that made it smooth after poking with it in a inward spiral till i hit the inside of the dent.. as i pushed on the dent i can see the lines start tot straighten up and that when i knew i was doing it

cant even tell dent is there anymore.... dent was caused by a hugh cardboard box that was blown by the wind and the corner of it hit it seems very thin fender but it was hot so i assume due to heat thats why it dented easy but now its gone saved myself like 80$ .. got a quote then i said screw the quote i got this

was not scared to do this. i knew if i screwed up i will still learn and learning from your own mistakes is the best way to learn

be very careful with that strong neodymium magnets specially around cars.. dont want it to accidentally flying into it causing a ding..its very strong magnet and if it gets close to metal or this case car it will fly quick to it..

thats what i used but a very small one on the back fender.. was hard to take it out with my finger had to use a razor blade and scooped it out from under.. very strong magnets

yeah man I had to hide the darn magnets cause you just never know what is metal around you when handling. scary reaction. i'm a physics junky so I love playing with magnets, electricity, etc. gravity is the real fun one to think about lol.

yeah same here like to play with stuff like that.. you are right that can hurt bad if pinched between your skin..they are very strong.. i tried to use regular magnet to make that metal ball stick to my fender and was not strong enough to hold the ball into place where i wanted it to..

This looks photoshopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

I'm kidding...
