I copied something I saw on Glen-e's car a while back, re-painted the rear bowtie.
I also removed the OE fender emblems a few weeks ago and replaced them with Emblempros 1st gen, satin black Camaro script but I haven't taken any pics of them yet.



Now I need some black taillights!

ZL1 jackpad with adapter puck lets you use the pinchwelds all day long. Super easy. There's a good jack point where the front fender meets the door. Then I place my jack stands where the pinchwelds are thickest.

The wife and I were bored so we parked in the grass and took some pics of our rides, AKA Beauty and the Beast! Of course mine is the Beast!

I'd try removing the wheel well liner and tapping them out from behind. Harbor Freight (or Amazon) sells pretty cheap hammer and dollies sets. Don't just use a ball peen hammer, as you may introduce more dents than you take out. But, one of these should do it so long as you take it slow.

Also, a heat gun will help. Don't get anything really hot. Just a low setting (200-250*) to soften up the paint and the metal a tad.

I have terrible hand skills when it comes to anything artistic, sloppy to say the least.

But from what you are describing, sounds like a professional PDR tech could do this job?

Does listening to your car at WOT on a road count as something I did?

For sure. Now, you might be able to tell that something was there. After all, the metal has stretched a tad, and it'll never "unstretch". You may see a slight wave in the reflection of a white wall. But, you're the ONLY one who will ever see it. Even when you show it to people, they'll look at you like you're crazy because they can't see a thing.
