Default Dented my EG ):

Is there a way I can fix this quarter panel myself? I have about a bill or two that I can spend to fix this. And if there is no possible way for me to fix this myself, how much would it cost to get it fixed in a shop? I'm eventually going to repain her anyway, right now I am just concerned with the quarter panel. My EG is my baby

Your pictures are so blurry, if theres no crease in the dent it can be pulled out with a suction cup... If there is the paint will chip and it might be worse, its so hard to tell get better pics

So how exactly do I fix those dents lol? I'm willing to look more into those methods. I really want to fix those dents on my quarter panel without having to pay a hefty amount to an autobody shop. Plus I want to work with my car more.

Sand the damaged area, take a folded rag or dolly from the back and lightly hammer it back out. Take some body filler and a card and fill the area, block sand smooth, prime, and paint with a touchup gun.

Yeah I plan to take care of that dent myself by trying to re-shape it, it looks like it can be done, not too bad. After I take care of all the body work, I plan to get it re-painted in the future. Battleship grey (:
