"got a dent on my trunk from doin the Robot!"

[Kulasstar]

ok that title is from a song so dont take it seriously
i do have a dent however.
its at the back of the trunk right where it bends down toward the lic plate
its not a flat surface so i cant use a suction cup tool to pop it out.
is there another why to fix this or is there a good body shop in that bay area that wont charge me an arm and a leg to fix this?

Thanks Jon, but if you look closely, the dent extends right to the edge of the trunklid, which is basically impossible to take out without having to some bondo work. Anyway, I bought a trunklid from Artem and I already sanded any scratches on it, so all it needs is some primer and paint, and it's going on. I'm also getting the niks and gashes fixed the same time the new trunklid is being painted.

I have a paintgun, though I've never painted yet with it :) If you wanted to try it out you can get some paint we can spray it up.
