Default can this be pulled out or fixed? or do I need a new fender?

hey guys, my prelude had this huge dent on it when I first bought it.

I'm eventually going to get the whole car nicely repainted, and when I do I'm not sure if i'm going to need a new fender or not.

I dont want it to look shitty if i'm gonna do it, i'm gonna do it right.

I have access too a good price on a new fender so does this look like something can be fixed or should I just go ahead and get a new fender?

OEM vs OEM replacement

fitment is a tad bit different.. I would notice the difference, some people dont.

Im sure you can find a body shop that can fix that fender for the price of a replacement fender..

If you know how to do body work fix it your self,
If you dont but know how to replace a fender replace it..

The whole car is going to be repainted in a few months. I dont plan on doing any of it myself, I would only buy the fender if the body shop that paints the car tells me I need a new fender vs. fixing this one.

If the body shop can probably just fix it before painting it, I'm not going to bother with getting a new fender.

I just dont want to have to deal with a situation where body shops require it to be replaced, and then i'm in a time crunch to source a fender because I dont want thier rediculious costs for a new one.

It IS fixable, but for the price you'll pay to get it perfect, you can just get a OEM replica or most likely even a new OEM one from Majestic Honda.
