You might be stuck making a comprehensive claim and paying the deductible. Bummer.

The "paintless" dent repair guys can work wonders! The going rate in Houston seems to be about $50 a panel, so you should be able to get the front end done for $100-$200. To me, that's not a s**t-load of cash. I sure wouldn't try to pop them out myself.

Your best bet is finding a good independant 'ding man'. They usually do better work and charge less than the larger companies such as Dent Wizard and those places. Ask your dealership who they use to remove dents because i'm sure they have to remove door dings and such from customers cars from time to time.
