Default new car and a question

So we just got a new (to us) car. Its an '02 Porsche Boxster with 30,000 on the clock. We got a great deal and the car is amazing. Not as fast as the Z's but the look, the fit and finish and the handling are all amazing. Anyways I have a question. The only blemish on the car is one inverse dent on the rear trunk. The previous owner had put something in the trunk and closed the lid on the object causing a reverse dent. It is dented up, not indented. What is the bast way to fix this? Do we have to get the whole panel repainted. Anyways here is the car with the Z's parked across the street. The car is midnight metallic blue, with a metropal blue top and grey leather. Also any ideas for mods for the porsche?
