Exclamation bumper dented by a hit and run tool

ok so i just got this beautiful 2002 acura tl in the fall, the paint was FLAWLESS, then some idiot who can't drive in a parking lot hits me and gets outta there, I come back to a dented car. now, paying a 250 dollar deductible for something i didn't do is very unappealing so... diy fix? i know i can get a new bumper cover to fix the paint dilema but the dent?

More specific about the location of the dent? Pics??

Sometimes they can repair dents, depends on how bad it is...

You have to host the pic on a site like imageshack. Then post the URL between the IMG in brackets.

My wife backed into my TL, pushed in the corner of the rear bumper cover pretty badly. Took off the bumper cover and pressed it out with my barefoot. There was a slight scratch left but it looks like new to me compared to the $850 it would've cost at the body shop.

Pretty easy to take off the cover, I found instructions with pictures on the web it's been a while but I think I just needed a socket set and a screwdriver.
