To hell with it. I've tried opening the hood and popping it out from behind. It's no use! Just look at it as a badge of honor

Earned that same badge the 2nd day I had the JK. Oh well, maybe I could try a big ol' suction cup to pop it out?

you could try a suction dent puller or the dry ice trick if the dents not deep.

the dry ice might work, but I wouldn't bother because i've tried that crap several times and it never happens. When I was having my remote start installed they did this mod for me, then said they didn't ghosts,? i Know. Long story short pay a dent remover guy $50 and be done with it. they work magic like nobody can and it'll look good as new.

List it in your signature and tell everyone that it's a cheap mod.

That's funny. I see so many jks with this particular dent(mine included) that I thought they were supposed to have them!
