I don't see any cracks -- try taking it to a paintless dent removal place and see what they say.

 

Yea they may be able to fix it.

 

Ugh,,, I rubbed a Concrete post in a parking garage last year after work... Same spot - Damn those Beautifully Wide Fenders we love so much! I was able to clean mine up and it is hardly noticeable now.

You might be able to get up inside the fender and pop most of it out by hand; then hit the scratched part with some polishing compound.

Good Luck, I feel your pain and misery...

 

IF you try to do it yourself, I strongly suggest you warm up the panel. I used my kerosene salamander style heater to direct heat to a damaged door with moulding on it, and got it nice and warm...NOT too hot to touch!! I then carefully tapped it out using wood blocks. (use wood to distribute the pressure...don't hit it with a hammer directly)

PS I did this with a DD and was not worried if I screwed it up. It did work, and I managed to get 90% of it out, and did not damage the paint or more importantly the side door trim. I could have done better if I took more time, but it was the middle of winter, and I was working outside. I made it barely noticeable unless someone looked for it.

 

I'm getting a quote at lunch today. I'm pretty bummed out right now. I can't believe I did this. My car's body was in great shape before. Oh BTW some of the places where its scratched are down to the primer.
