taking a big dent out of plastic will be tough do NOT go to the dealer like mentioned above, unless you want to pay double to tripple the price you could get it fixed anywhere else. i had to get a bumper painted a while back, i did the install, dealer wanted a rediculous amount, almost 3 times the price i got at a local body shop.

Lol I dented the sh*t out of my plastic this winter (Dukes Of Hazard into a snowbank >.<) I just used a heat gun on a mid setting, held it out 6-8 inches from the bumper and heated it front and back. Then as it gets soft just gently push and form it back to the way it was. Mine turned out great.

Edit: Dont get it too soft or you'll damage it. And of course DONT TRY if your not comfortable with shaping it.
