Taking dents outta DC fender...
Driver side fender has no hope for it...
Passenger side does, somebody kicked it in, still has a beatiful fit, the dent is a little pushed in and fist sized, can I take it out, no point in buying a new one when this is an easy fit...

Yes, since you the fender off already, try using the underside of a spoon and slowly press out the dent. You can even heat it up a little bit, then press out. It will start to shape, if you have the patience. Sorry I don't have pics, but I have done this to a couple of USDM and JDM fender and you can 80-90 % of the dent out.
It would be easier to fix the dent while the fender is on the car, so the fender won't move around on you. A trick to working out dents is to use florescent lighting to cast a shdow on the panel. A dent will make the reflection look bent, use a pointy object and slowly push out the dent from the outside in.
the fender has no structure so doing it on the car is a good idea, bur put a dolly spoon in behind it and his the high points of the dent working side to side (off doly) if you do it with the right force the dent will pop out
