My bumper is punched in... need help

No paint is chipped off or anything, I was just wondering what I should do. I heard about this device that has like three prongs that stick around the damaged part. Then you use a fourth prong to stick to the punched in part, then screw it out. What is that thing called and how much would it cost? Need an answer ASAP. Thanks.

Thanks. I think I'm gonna need something bigger than that-- I have more than a ding. Thanks again, though.

Do it when its warm out, you may even want to use a hair dryer and heat it up. Do it slow and controlled and just work it out from the edges inward.
This just helps to try and not crack the paint when you pop it back out.
