that looks like its in a pretty bad place... i highly doubt that can be popped. generally anything on a corner or lip is pretty much not gonna happen.

I think you could get a new fender for cheaper than that from a part out.

If you have a hairdryer and a can of CO2 computer duster laying around you can always try this first...

So if the paint is already messed up what do you have to lose by trying?
I dunno if it will work on that type of dent anyway, but it would be pretty cool if it did. Make sure you take video... |

Damn you were lucky, that dent was soooo close to your nice headlight!
Just buy a used fender and replace it. Easiest/cheapest/fastest way to fix your problem. |

If you pull everything apart and use some body tools you could probably hammer it to look about 80% decent (not incredibly obvious, but noticable up close). I did something similar on my 03 Malibu; I got sideswiped by a tractor trailor and all it did was bend in one fender...it took a while, but when I was done only I could notice. But I also has access to the back through the fender well. It is at least worth a try...you can always look for another fender later.

If the paint isn't crack I'd PDR (paintless dent repair) - it'll be about $100

I wonder if the heating and cooling process shown above isn't bad for your paint...?
