DIY : Can someone help me on fixing a dent? 2007 camry
 

i am able to remove some screws and reach my hand behind the dent but it is too dented in its place that i cant push it out.

Does anyone any methods on solving my problem?

AlsoI've decided to remove the whole bumper so i can theoretically get to the problem area better so i can use greater force. But the problem is i cant find the right nuts and bolts to remove the entire bumper.

here is a picture

yeah, blowdryer. its a plastic cover, SO heat it and it will almost naturally pop out. be patient. try one heat level, then the next. Don't start off with HI/HOT. Work ur way up there until the plastic gives. Reason being is you dont want the paint to severely crack and fall off. Right now its spiderwebbed, and scratched but still on the thing.

good luck!

Thank you for the reply!
That sounds like the best idea, but before i dive into i want to be sure about one thing; What side shouldIheat?
The inside or outside? Or both?

Either. But if you take off the whole bumper, you maybe better off heating the inside so not to damage the paint. However most people i know just do it on the outside cos its easier and they're lazy.

How did the repair job on your rear bumper turn out? I have the same kind of dent in same place on my '97 Camry.

the third one above is the full view of the car from the side

It will cost me 500 dollars in deductables to fix the whole bumper and make it as new.

My question is: Is it worth the 500 dollars to replace it and make the entire care shine like new again from all visual perspective?

hmm well it looks like you did manage to pop it out. good job.

uhhh well it depends...i'd just wait abit. not hoping for more damage but if something else happens to it, then i'd get another bumper.
