USE A HAMMER!!!! JK..... that is gonna be a real hard dent to get out. best of luck with that one. I doubt you can get it to look perfect again. Exterior issues always suck :banghead:

Well, its def. not poping out now that you used the heat gun. Its basically going to keep that shape now. Usually when you can't initially pop out the urethane, its never going to go back to its original form.

Yikes, you should've spent an extra $80 and got one without a perma-dent. :lol:

I had one kinda like that when i got my srt rear...wasn't quite that bad though. I just beat on it until it popped out as far as it would, then mounted it on my car and let it sit in the sun, it slowly popped out to its original shape. Sounds like yours is teh fuxor'd though...

I think it's d-e-d dead since you hit it with the heat gun. Try flipping it over and banging it out with either a rubber mallet, or a baseball bat rapped in towels or shop rags... it's worth a shot. What do you have to lose? $20?! oh wait... :lol:
