The front bumper and the rear can be dented; the rest is made out of a SMC plastic mold. It can be cracked though.

Common sense, plastic/fiberglass does not DENT as metal would, it would absorb an impact up to it's breaking point and then crack. COMMON SENSE...................

I don't see why the composite areas could not dent somewhat. I mean...if you were to take a hammer and hit the fender not real hard I can see it leaving a dent....Not going to try it but I'm sure it can.
