well im sure a decent shop could pull out the dent and repaint it. i had something similar happen to my 96 TA. somebody backed into me and drove off...



the shop pulled the dent, repainted the quarter panel and replaced the gas door. all for about $600. so seeing as how you dent is alittle smaller, i'd assume it'll cost a bit less then mine. good luck!
