Unhappy HELP! Need to pop front bumper

So I walked out of a store the other day to see that someone had hit my car, and on the front bumper there is a dent like the size of a basketball. I really don't have the money to get it fixed up, so I was thinking about just popping it back out, since it looks like that could be done. Is there any way that I can do that without completely removing my front bumper?
If there isn't, then is there any way that I can do it without jack stands, since I don't have any?

Thanks!!

Removing the front bumper is incredibly easy, no jacking required. I believe there's a DIY for installing the Injen CAI around here somewhere, which involves taking the front bumper off. Basically all that's involved is removing the two plastic clips under the hood, next to the headlights. Then remove all the black plastic clips of the same type from the underside of the bumper, behind the rubber front spoiler. Finally, there's a screw in each wheel well. Then just grab the bumper from one wheel well and "peel" it off. The whole thing just snaps on and off.

Someone double-check me, it's been about a year since I've had my bumper off!

4 clips under the hood, 2 screws in each wheel well, like 6 clips under the bumber... and pop out each side, careful not to drop the bumber on the ground...
