Default Hit a Piece of Road Debris - Grrrrrr !

Last night I was cruising up I-85 and hit a piece of road debris thrown from under the car in front of me. I couldn't avoid running over it, obviously it went under the rear wheel and put a crease in the rear fender of my little beauty. Now a trip to the body shop is going to be required to get it ironed out.

What a way to start the new year.

Sucks doesn't it. I was at Home Depot some time ago and someone "tapped" above the door frame and put a crease in it. It will have to be filled, sanded and painted to fix it correctly. PO'ed me instantly!!!

Try popping it out from inside with a rubber or rawhide mallet.
My son-in-law had a crease near the taillight of his '03 GT from a parking lot - seems a rubber bumper hit it - I took out tailight, popped out the dent, clay bar'd the area, and you can't tell.
If the paint didn't crack, you can probably avoid a repaint.
