Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Repair possible' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair possible' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

OK, so I go to my crew/rowing lesson today, after, I decide to stop for iced tea at local joint, no parking so park in public lot (end space). I'm there for 30 or so minutes, get into my car (from front) drive away, get home and huge dent (to me) in rear bumper.
Some a$$ had to go out of his way to back into the car as it was in the safest spot (or so I thought) in the lot. Hater or complete imbecile, who then didn't have the decency to leave a card.
Real question is: Is it dentless repair possible? also if it its good recommendation for Fairfield County CT???
PIcs will follow in a few minutes.
TIA

Don't give up. Body shops and some detailers can do wonders with plastic. Keep calling around.
As for the bumperettes, well, I think we all know what the answer to that is.

Thanks, I have not ever had to use a paintless dent remover, hence my ignorance as what they do and do not do, double hence my question to the rennlist brethren.
In person the dent shows no scratches in paint at all, it "almost" looks as if it could be popped back out except for right side where there is a slight crease. The area around where lights scratched paint looks small enough that a good detailer with airbrush could get the job done "well enough".
I will take it around to a few body shops next week to get an idea of what the options are.
edit: I wish it had been the front so at least I could tell my better half I needed the aerokit bumper....
You might try a hair dryer or, very carefully, a heat gun. When it heats up it will relax and may pop out or you may need to message it from behind. If you are careful, it can't hurt. Keep the heat moving around as to not blister the paint. Try it before paying a body shop to do the same or tell you you need a new bumper for a couple thousand plus labor.
+1 w/ Red... Looks like a grease in the bumper when the Bumperette was hit at an angle, you may be able to push it out from the inside, though you will need to remove the bumper which is not that hard according to others who did this bumper removal. Good luck...
