i'm repainting my 1990 RS and it has a few dings and dent & i was wondering if it would be better just to buy a new front fender or getting the dents out...any suggestions or opinions..?

Re: new or old..

It depends on the size of the dings and dents. After reading all of the recent posts lately about aftermarket fenders not fitting correctly, I'd say stick with what you have. Since you're painting the car anyway, the larger dents can be reshaped with a hammer and dolly if needed.
