Take a ball peen and pop the dent out from the inside of the fender. Or, go the Billy Mays route and order a vacuum puller off paid programming haha!

What type of dents? Mine got kind of bent when some old guy bumped the car in his TL and I just removed the fender and hit it out with a rubber mallet. It took a while to get it right but it looks good now and I got to hang on to the few hundred his insurance company gave me!

I don't know if this would work as well with tiny dents though since the face of rubber mallets is usually pretty large.

depends where its at... like as everyone above has said use a hammer and dolly if it is on a body line or kinked then it will be a bit harder i mean if you have the resources you could do a decent job of hammering it out and use fiberglass filler to get it perfected and respray them....

or new JDM spec with sidemarkers for like 279 shipped from PWJDM

100 each or pair? if 100 a pair i will say with almost certanty they arent oem.
If 100 each, thats 200 a pair. Now add up the cost for side marker, lets say 45 bucks, and shipping, that should put you right at around 279.

Im just guess but the price should be similar if you figure in everything else, 100 each still doesnt seem that bad for oem shipped, for someguys they like have the holes already there, people often cut them in the wrong spot and end ruining a perfectly good fender.

pwjdm has a lot of oem honda body parts, but i think the fenders are aftermarket. correct me if i'm wrong. I'm just too lazy to visit their site.


you can get different sized rubber mallets. i've been looking relentlessly for a 96-98 white fender and i can't find anything. I just decided to do the best I can do on my own and will bang it out myself this week.

I do belivie the fenders are aftermartket, and i have heard horrbile hings abouts them. some bolt on perfectly some are a pian in the *** to line up correctly.
Genreraly at least will my expereinces the prices with pwjdm and normally highier the other compaines, but this true with almost every web site the supplys "jdm" parts.
