So my fender has a dent and i was wondering if its better to pay the 500 to replace it or bondo it? what do you guys think?

How bad is the dent? does it have creases or is it just a smooth round dent? any pics? If it is bad enough that you cant pull it or pop it out, depending on the size of the dent you can bondo it. If its a smooth small bubble type dent then you can lightly hit it with a hammer covered in tape from the inside of the fender to "pop" it out. If it has creases and twists in it, its better to replace it. I had a bad dent/ crease in my driver side fender from being side swiped, and it was all twisted and messed up, i went to the junkyard payed 40 bucks fora new fender. it was green but i just sanded, primed, and painted it and it was new again!

i would check with one of those paintless dent repair places-basically what galantevolution said, as long as there is no crease or anything they should be able to fix it and it look like new

Thats pretty much the same as th dent I have on mine too...wierd. Anyways, you can get a new replacement on Ebay for like $80-$100 and then just get it painted.
