I have heard of using a blow dryer to soften the plastic back up, but I've never seen it done. Good luck!

Unfortunately, its too small to heat up and mold. Plus, with the paint already damaged like that I fear that you'll start chipping paint.

Not diminishing you or anything, but its small and you'll forget its there. I had been tapped by a Land Cruiser and was going ape-crazy. But after polishing off the scratch and continue going about my business, I had forgotten that it was hit there. Now, I really have to point it out to see it.

Looks like the very tip of the rear bumper.

if you use a hairdryer you can massage most of it out from the inside. or take it to dent pro.
