a shop might be able to pull the majority of the dent out but i think you will still see the crease in the middle unfortunately.

battle scars my man.

You can't use the ding king on plastic.

They would probably bondo, sand, and repaint that.

I've used pops-a-dent on my rear bumper and it worked well. It comes with a glue gun that you have to apply to these different round pieces. You then stick it to the dent and let dry for 10 minutes. Once dried you then use a device like the ding king

I got it at auto zone

Well then you really don't care for your car then. The glue Gun wont pealoff the paint. Unless there's paint chips caused by the dent.

Heat up the area with a heat gun. Get a wet towel. Then re shape the plastic in that area. Thats how we do it at work. Get it 95 % of the way out then bondo / prime / paint to fix the rest. But you can get it 95% out with a heat gun and a little pressure.

I had a dent in my passenger door, a dent in my driver's side rear quarter panel, and the driver's door was dented in.

My dealership fixed it all for $85 flat.

Call them and take it in.

You never know.

Before that, I got quoted and it was $500, at a body shop in my town.
