Any ideas of how much that fender dent would cost to be fixed?

i'd definitely need a better picture, but if it's really wrinkled all over like it looks, i'd just recommend a new fender. You can get aftermarket repro's for $100, and the real deal from GM is $200. Then it's gonna need paint, which will cost $150 - $200 i'm guessing.
Your choice is to pay probably $300 - $500 for a shop to do it, but of course you'd wind up with a ****load of bondo in the fender.
But i need much closer pics.

from that picture, it does look like the rear half of the fender is all wrinkled. if that's the case, just get a new fender. do some searching and i bet you could find a fender in a junkyard for real cheap. install it yourself, then just get it painted. that would be your cheapest and best option

Forget that then, I'll live with the eyesore for now. When I put my hand on the back of the fender I can push it out, but it won't stay.
What are the odds of actually being able to match my paint.

It is slightly dented as well, but I think the lighting makes it look a lot worse, you can't really notice it, unless standing to the side.
