Popping out a dent

Hi i have a dent right above where the trunk latch on my 03 civic is :'( It makes me sad.....but i got it from adjusting the trunk latch to help w/ sound deadening....my brother slammed it multiple times too hard, broke the latch, caused a dent, and luckily i talked the dealer into covering the latch under warranty. O well im not complaining but i was wondering if i could pop the dent out...its hard to reach because of this thing ..dont know what to call it...but if u have a civic ull know what I'm talking about. Is it alright for an amateur to pop out a dent? Is there a possibility of it looking new? Thanks...im really sad that my civics body isnt perfect anymore....

Try not to worry too much about the dents and other stuff. Cars get old. You should see all the cuts and dents from people hitting my car.

If you have a Dent Wizard in your area don't hesitate to get an estimate, they do excellent work. My 03 EX Coupe had a dent on the drivers door when I was at the grocery store when it had 300 miles on it. Now if I showed you the door you whould never know it. The door is now flawless just as the day I got it. The job cost me $50.

dry ice works wonders....and if you can get to it from the inside, use a rubber mallet to bump it out, it worked on my mustang after hitting a dear
