How big of a dent are we talking here? Is it like a baseball size dent or like a 2,000lb buffalo ran into the side of your car?

what part of the car got hit? bumper or metal panel? can you get behind the panel? etc. etc. if you dont really care what it looks like try gettin' behind the panel and tapping it out gently with a hammer if you can fit it in there. if its the bumper, try taking a heat gun to it and flexing it out.

if you want it look perfect, you'd have to pull or hit it out, with a hammer or stud welder, grind it down. bondo it even and paint det bitch. or for a bumper, heat gun and bondo, or just replace it.

or you can just drive around with the dent and tell people

"its a fawkin' battle scar beetch."
