Well, I'm going to try the suction cup/heat route. I went to the auto parts store and all they had was an overkill suction dent remover. Do any of y'all know where to get a few small suction cups? Walmart? I wouldn't even know what aisle to begin with. Thanks in advance.

Had same divot on my hood edge; thought it was a huge acorn or chesnut falling (that had dented my bros Tahoe hood).
Parked it on roof top garage for week and it was gone with sun 8 hours/day.
Read a cup of boiling water works too..

If you DIY you may make it worse trying to repair from the outside.
Remove the bumper and repair from the inside - apply pressure and use heat.
Or hire a professional. $200 dentless now or $1000 filler and paint later.
Good luck

Saw a video on you tube. Guy heated a plastic bumper with a hair dryer. After it was hot he took a can of aerosol like you clean a keyboard with. turn it upside down so you get the cold propellant spraying in the dent. Spray the can on it and the dent popped out.

I'd be curious to see the final results of a dentless job.
Under the very similar circumstances that I previously had posted about, there was NO way to fix it except to have it filled and repainted. I researched for nearly 2 weeks to exhaust all options and had 3 different professional businesses give me estimates.
Hoping that you have better results.
