now there is a huge dent in the bumper. and since the accord bumpers are so fragile i am assuming i can fix this myself does anybody have any suggestions before i start trying to find ways how to "unpop" that dent. and ill be posting some pictures in a minute

 

 

just take it off, and take a rubber hammer and tap it lightly and try to pop it back out, it might crack the paint slightly, but since no paint came off when it was dented in, the paint might not come off when you tap it out, atleast try to fix it before taking it to a shop or getting a new one

 

how do i take it off?

 

I know that here in Cali there are dent removal places that fix those types of dents and leave them mint. You might want to check out a dent removal place around your area.

 

I had a dent just like that on my car. My dad popped it out with the handle off of my floor jack. He got under the car and pushed it out, took some time though. Talk about unorthodox. Now my bumper is mint.

 

actually thats exactly what i was thinking about doing.. haha now im gonna go do it :-P

 

wait did your dad like chizzle at it or did he just pop it out all at once

 

I fixed a depression very much like yours my warming from the inside, around the spot w/ propane torch (carefully), and firm licks w/ a rounded end of a 2x4 driven by a hammer. It wasn't a perfect repair (shape returned but some noticeable roughness), but much better than original.

good luck

 

the longer you wait to pop that dent out...the harder it will be...as the sun will bake it into that shape......

He had to work at it a little bit. He would push at it in a certain spot, move the end of the handle to a different section of the dent, push out, move the handle, etc.

 

Use the couple grand to tubo your car to fix it!
