Fenders?

[jenksdrummer]

2019 Mustang GT w/ PerfPk2, I was removing stuff from my attic and dropped something on my passenger fender today that put a bit of a crease/line/dent and scabbed up the paint. Enough my OCD won't let it slide.

Always thought they were plastic based on feel, but some replacement sites mention they may be aluminum?

Which is it?

The stock fenders are aluminum, aftermarket ones are usually steel but id spend them money on oem aluminum ones.

How bad is it? Beside the scratch in the paint is the crease/line/dent something a paintless dent repair could fix?

Look on eBay or LKQ for the exact color fender and just replace it.

You couid also source a paintless dent repair Pro in your area (check their reviews). Most are excellent at what they do and results vary. Some will tell you right up front there's never a guarantee they will get a crease out 100% depending on where and how it creased. They also do not do paint touch up or repairs. Body shop would be best for a start-to-finish job, but you're probably looking anywhere from $800-$2000 for a repair depending on shop skill, quality of repair, if they have to replace panel or not, and if your paint is 2 or 3 stage.
