There was some other damage that I hadn't noticed until I got the bumper off. There are aparently clips that hold the lower part of the grille in place, the 4 center clips were shoved upwards and therefore not holding on to anything. Some quick hair dryer action and we moved them back to a presentable fashion. I still plan on having the bumper fixed (Or just buying a http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...-33-4-031s.htm :-))

I tried the heat gun first. It definitely got hot enough to make the bumper pliable, but the dent wasn't going anywhere without me pushing on the the dent from behind.

Got the bumper off after about 3 hours. Didn't have a jack to take the wheels off, so I had to peel back the fender well and work that way. Finally got it off and worked with a hair dryer to pop out the ding. Still gonna have to take it to a body shop to get out the other little scuffs out. Thanks for the help guys!
Please please please do a tutorial or link the source of how to get the bumper cover off!

I got my bumper cover scraped up from parking like an idiot...
