any ideas to take care of dents? alright, it was stupid of me but i was trying to back out of my drive way and had my brothers jeep behind me so i pulled forward and tried to go out sideways but i just didn't have enough room so now theres a couple dents right above the rear wheel on the right side. i tried to use a suction cup but i didn't help much! can anyone help me out with something i can buy to fix this or if i need to go to a paint and body shop could u tell me how much? the dents aren't that bad but there still there and it's annoying. 
thanx for the help!

Just go get a damn estimate. Post up on the texas section and ask if there is a good body shop around your area.... yeah, and that stupid little suction cup thing you saw on tv doesnt work, and wont work, unless you drive a honda civic, then it will work every time

Find your local Dent Wizard for paintless dent repair. As long as the dent is accessible from behind the panel, and is not located directly on a crease, they should be able to take it out so that even you will never know it was there.
I had several dents/dings (including the dreaded 'torque dimples') taken care of in this manner and I seriously can't find where they were...
The guy I use charges $75 per panel, which includes as many dents as there are in that panel. If he attempts to repair a dent, and can't get it to where you can't tell it was ever there - he doesn't charge.

You might be able to push it out if you remove the speaker from the sail panel (or whatever the back seat area is called there). I had somebody hit me there and I put a deflated football in there and aired it up and pushed most of the dent out.

I am actually in Austin right now (student at UT); my home/tools are about 20 miles north of me in Cedar Park.
Probably no help there unless you plan on making a trip out this direction, sorry.
