in a parking lot! Just above/behind the rear wheel at the fender "bulge".
Funny thing, though...not even a scratch or blemish to be seen at the
damaged site, just a foot-by-half-a-foot cave-in, like somebody hip-checked
her, eh.

I plunged it out, but not perfectly. Still a little "wavy" there.

Anybody know approximately how much to restore my Pacific Green coupe to her
original glory after something like this?

Thanks, all.

My brother tried paintless dent repair here in San Antonio, TX. The dents,
granted they were fairly small, pretty much disappeared. If you didn't know
where to look you'd never know & even if you did know most of the repairs are
undetectable. His car is silver though, a darker car might not be quite as
forgiving.

IIRC he said he paid around $300 to fix 5 small dents.

Some of these dent-repair shops do wonders. Try it, I have and I could
not see where the dents used to be on my old car. amazing.
