I hit something yesterday and my front bumper has a fairly big dent on the left side (between left signal light and fender). Dent is about 4in across. Since the front bumper is plastic, can the paintless dent removal technique be applied to my bumper as well?

Should I take my front bumper off and try to hammer it from the inside? How do I remove the front bumper? Any other suggestions? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Baron

 

Um, no, the paintless dent removal doesn't even work that well on metal. You'll probably have to replace and repaint the bumper.

 

Try http://www.dentwizard.com , though i think you're situation is a bit more severe which might not help. If no paint has come off, i think it might work.

 

I hit something on the road and there were several big dents in my front bumber, but not very many scratches. It looked like a basket ball could fit in some of the dents. I was able to push and massage those out by using a hair blow dryer to heat up the plastic and a handle of a screw driver to push and massage the dent out from the back of the bumber. I am not a car body expert but it looks almost new. I can't even really tell that there were dents. I hope that helps.

 

This sounds like a great tip thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to take the front bumper off.

 

Baron-
I had the same problem when I owned my rsx. Somone backed into my bumper in a truck with a trailer hitch. The ball left a circular dent in the front. I took my bumper off and used a heat gun. I put it on low heat (a hair dryer will work on high). Just heat it up and push it out from the back side. It was pretty much un noticable when I was done with it.
