Hello Camaro enthusiasts,

New to the forum. I am currently restoring a 1967 Camaro and also own a 2013.

I am in need of a bit of advice and knowledge concerning removing the front end clip of the 2013 Camaro. Over the weekend someone decided to be so kind and hit my car. The drivers fender is pushed in right at the Camaro symbol. I am looking to remove the fender to knock out the dent. I do not want to over look anything critical on my 2013. Does anyone have any advice on taking the front clip off? Things I should watch out for? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have full insurance coverage on the car? If you have a loan, you're required to.

You are absolutely right about the insurance coverage. My issue is the dent is not worth paying a $250 deductible when I can fix it myself. If I can get the fender off I can pop it back in place. However, it would be definitely easier to have my insurance take care of it. Thanks for the reply.

I can understand that. It's hard to tell from the picture, but if there isn't a hard crease, you should be able to massage it back out. Try pushing down with the palm of your hand on the back side with the fender face down. Set it on a carpeted surface with a soft blanket so as not to scratch the paint. The carpet will be firm enough to support, yet soft enough to "give" some so you can push the dent back down. You don't want to be hitting or knocking it with anything hard which can leave a dent.
