Rear Fender Warped, need advice please...

I have a Evo 8 and running 265/35/18 x10 wheels. My rears are rolled but not pulled, I hit a bump really good. When the suspension completley compressed the wheel hit the fender and it bent the rear fender and warped it to where it kind of had a rippled effect. Is there any way I can fix this myself or am I SOL? Or do I just have to take it to a body shop?

Thats in a bad spot man...almost on the crease/curved area.


Not an expert by all means.....I don't know if it can be smoothed out or not.

In any case, keep us posted please. GL.

take it to a body shop and ask them... but to me, looks like you'll need some hammer and dolly work to smooth out then some filler and paint if you dont want it to have the pulled look.

if you can handle the look of the pulled fenders grab a roller and flare it out then match the other side.
