Stop in for a cup of coffee

Now you tell me!

Dont laugh, after the baseball bat warped the metal, they were still unfinished and I needed the clearance. So I braced the best I could and I took the hammer to them, to get that inner lip curled up. Yep, I caused more of an issue. I was hoping that the chrome trim would cover it but it goes to high into the crease and will still be visible.

I do still have about 3/4 can of paint left so matching the color is not a problem.

I thing those can be saved with some selective contour hammering with body putty and shaped back to normal. The distortion isn't terrible and can be corrected. I would repaint to the upper lip of the wheel well lip (top of the distortion) and feather the edge with wet sanding. The contours will hide the paint blend.
