Default Truck tailgate hit my front bumper

So i parallel parked and went to class and when i come back theres a dent about 4 to 5 inches wide on my front bumper right underneath the left headlight...I wondering if anyone has had a dent like this and if it is possible to pop it back out(since our front bumper is variation of plastic). Do you think that dent removing as seen on tv thing will work?

Pop the dent in the bumper (polyurethane) out and get it repainted. Probably no structural damage by the looks of it.

I remember on my integra i got hit by a toe hitch from a truck and it left a nice softball circular indent on my front bumper, that week i scheduled a visit to the shop , but what was funny is it was summer time hot day and i was going to wash it and as soon as the cold water hit it it magically popped out with no paint damage...

Yeah, try to take it to a dent removal place first to see if they can pop it out. A few years back, my Honda got hit in the same area in my campus parking lot while I was in class, and I got the dent popped out for $60.
