I don't mind cutting my fenders so much , they are part of the plastic bumper covers that I can replace , with better customs ones , front and rear for about $1000 which would restore the damage and upgrade the cars original value.
Here,you can see how Carl Breer attempted to blend the 1934 DeSoto Airflow test mules fenders into the body a little better.
For all the mods,they went from Cd 0.51,to 0.244,about what Elon Musk gets with today's Tesla S.
