Heya,

So I walk out to my car the other night and I notice a nice dent punched right into the back bumper near the driver's side taillight. Probably a pick-up backed into it or something.

I'm trying to figure out the best (read: cheapest) way to get this fixed, as the bumper isn't creased in any way. It looks like it could be popped out, I (and any dent removal places) can't seem to figure out how to get behind the dent without removing the rear bumper.

I know I have the option of replacing the bumper and getting it paint-matched, but I plan to repaint the car in spring of next year anyway, so it'd be a waste of money to fix it "correctly" at the current time.

Does anyone have any ideas for me? I live in central NJ if you have a shop or DIY guy in the area that you know. Thanks!
