the bad news is my bumper has a huge dent in it. Do you know if I can pop it out?
Depending on the severity of the dent, it may be possible to use a heat gun or a very hot hair dryer and "massage" it out into place. Simply remove the cladding and heat up the inside area of the dent especially the outer perimeter of the crease. Do not focus the heat in one area alone as it may melt or damage that area. Rather "wave" it around the area and simultaneously start pushing the dent out. Don not force it out but rather "massage" it out instead. If the results are successful, you may still end up with visible "stretch creases from the outside. But since you may be covering with line-x or paint, then it doesn't really matter. If the results are not to your satisfaction or the damage is too great to apply, then replacing the entire cladding may be your only option. Keep us updated of whichever way you go with and good luck.
