The bumper is extremely easy to take off. 8 bolts and it is off. Otherwise there are 8(I think) more bolts holding the plastic on, on the inside of the bumper. If you have the factory tow hooks though you will need to take the whole bumper off to seperate it from the plastic.

Which part of it did you dent? I took out one of the crash cans on mine. Poped the dent out, cut off the can, then filled the space with Great stuff foam. Did the other side too. Took a lot more abuse after that without crushing in anymore.

Ask around, I bet you can get a take-off for next to nothing.

pulled mine off. Heated with heat gun (not to much) then formed it back to shape with rounded tools, screwdriver handels ect. Worked great.

I've got two of them that I got cheap. The shipping kiled me though!! $85.00 one has the cut outs for the lights and one is solid. I got both of them for $125.00 shipped. I had a dent in mine and was pissed off so I ordered two of them. I didn't do anything with either since the other is "character".
