not much... you cant pull that out (at least i don't think you can) cause its not metal..???? or am i way off here???

how did you dent plastic?

it can be popped out, but more than likely the paint will be cracked

Take the bumper off and heat it from the inside with a heat gun. You should be able to press the dents out without damaging the paint on the outside.

I like this idea...Makes total sense....If there is no paint damage now then i think you can get it out..You might even want to call a dent wizard in your area...I know they work wonders on metal and I am sure that if this can be fixed with out a body shop,they will know and they are cheaper.
If you do decide to do it yourself...Careful with the heat gun..I use them all the time and they will get ya if your not careful.Just heat it slowly and keep your distance....Otherwise you may get it too hot too fast and bubble the paint or melt the plastic causing permanent damage,

I think the heat gun will work, i saw another thread on this site where someone had a dent in the same spot as you and they had post some pics of them fixin it with one. Good luck! (cheers)

what SS said is true.. when the plastic is molded at the factory it creates a memory so when you heat it up and gently roll it out it pops right back. but... always a but, you have to make sure you dont get the plastic too hot. Take your time.
