jacking up the car
hey guys so last night i was in a rush to change out my front wheel and i think i jacked it from the wrong spot. now the undercover of the car has a big indent in it and it has pushed up into my carpet on the driver side. theres like a semi bulge sticking out. anyway of pushing it back down? let me know.
im an idiot for doing this, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Im not gonna lie, an idiot former friend who works at a body shop did same to mine. I didnt notice it until a little later, but the dumbass had jacked it up at those soft points underneath multiple times. In turn, it raised my floor up just a tad on driver's side, but only noticeable with the mat off.
I have yet to find a way to fix it, and dumbass was more or less fired from the shop as well for this and many other fawkups he did on my friends' Z's. You local Texas section guys can prob guess the shop im talking about
Anyway, I tried using a hammer also, but there is no room to swing the hammer to get enough power to knock it back down.
I just left it be for now. If you figure out a way that works, please PM me.

If there isn't enough room to swing a mallet, you could maybe try an impact hammer.
Just an example. you can find cheaper ones.
