Im about 99% sure that if you take out the tail light and stick a ultra thin whale tail you could easily get it out. Theres no access under trim or bumper. I would take the tailight out like i said before and stick a long ultra thin whale tail. if that doesnt work last resort is to beat the dent out. what i mean by this is to beat to the sides of the crease. of course its gonna make the dent bigger, but its also gonna make the dent less sharp. your basicly gonna make the dent more shallow and soft do you can stick a glue tab on it and pull it up. theres no way to just stick a glue tab on that sharp of a dent.

this is the company i work for, its just me and my boss.
heres the link if you want to take a look at some of our work.

Welcome to Dentmagix

heres a pic of a ultra thin whale tail.

its long so you can stick it right through the tail light hole with nothing in your way. make sure he tries with the tail light out. sometimes i get lazy myself and try and do it with the tail light in, takes twice as long and doesn't come out perfect.

Sorry for the response!

That is the difference between good and great work. :D

If you let the shop drill you can get the rest of it out.

Here's a pic of what it looks like. What do you think? Not sure if they could get much more out...

btw, that amount of high spots means you got missing paint in the inner quarter panel where the tool pushed unless the tech touch it up for you. so you have exposed metal which is no different than drilling. at least with drilling, most techs will seal it using silicone before plugging it...and with a usable access hole, the tech will have direct access to the dent so he would do much less guessing... ie much less high spot distortion.

Yeah, I figured that's the best I'm going to get without drilling and/or repainting. I'm not 100% happy with it but I'm more happy now than I was with the dent so I guess that's what matters and I just need to learn to live with it.

Btw, I'm guessing my only real option now would be to have it sanded/painted? Just curious, with my luck I'll get more damage on the same panel in the future.
