Now you can torch the ram. Then, your roommate can cancel the insurance.

I had something similar.

You should be able to pull most of that out - use a hairdryer to warm the bumper up and push it back into shape. (remove exauhst surround piece to get behind bumper).

Then polish.

Will get 98% of that bump out.

Just read your post...why aren't you going through insurance to fix the damage?

Finally I got my car back...it looks perfect, although I think the paint is very very slightly off from the body to the bumper. Maybe it's because the guy told me to look for it, otherwise I may never notice a difference. It cost about $950 of my roomates insurance money, so I could care less...the worst part is, the loaner they gave me was a Mitsu Lancer. And the base model is no Evo VIII.
