I was wondering is there any tricks to popping out dents?
Should i just take a rubber mallet and go at it till it pops out?

HDRed so you can see the dent a bit better

The portion where the bumper is bent in is an easy fix the part the bumper snaps into has bent a bit which i can easily bend back into place (had to do this for the front bumper once)
any tips on fixing dent in the sheet metal body?

oh if it matters its a Honda Civic Coupe Lx 2004

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the help, could you help me understand what you mean when you say crease?
Im thinking like folding a paper, crease?

Sharp bend in the metal - top right near the bottom left edge of your gas tank cap.

Your best bet is to beat it out with a hammer from the inside of the wheel well, you may have to jack it up and take the wheel off. Once you get it as flat as you can you are going to need to sand the paint as rough as you can get it and bondo it then have it painted with the same color which you can buy from Honda or get matched at a shop.

If it were me I would just dent the shit out of the rest of the car and use the dents as a kind of theme.....but then again I am an idiot.
