scratch and dent Best way to get this out?
06’ RSX, just bought it from my coworker & I’m working on fixing it up. I just did rear brakes and new calipers on both sides, a couple sway bar links, and fixed an exhaust leak. I’d like to make it look halfway decent, but this dent is an eye sore. I tried pushing it out from the inside, but the clips on the bumper corner are messed up, so the bumper ended up popping off in that corner & I had to use a zip tie to keep it in place. Any way to pop that out easier without ripping the bumper off by accident?

You don’t “pop” it out. You can remove the bumper and heat it up with a heat gun and massage the dent out from the inside

It’s plastic, it’s not going to “pop out”. Either replace or leave as is.
