yea i seen that before i think it just works on metal though since metal has memory and tends to pop back into its original shape from rapid heating and cooling. i think.

Use a small narrow screwdriver in the slot of the head on each clip and just twist. They pop easily..

let it sit in the sun, heat it up and pop it out. Thats a simple job. then buff it up and there you go.

All this takes about 8 minutes to remove the bumper.

Remove the dent...


See, super easy!!
