couple of ways to remove dents:
1. Sucktion cups (small cups, not ding king, they are used by body shops at times)
2. paintless dent removal - they insert this long ruller like thingie behind your door and push it out. (i've got this one done myself, $75-150 depending if your dents are repairable 150 is for a panel, or 75 per ding - these were houston prices for the guy to come to you).
3. dry ice, (after step2) they put this over your dent to even it out - ice helps the metal expand - (i heard this one from a supra guy

it wont look brand new unless you replace the panel that the dent is on, but im sure it looks better than before.

and it should also work on the trunk as long as the dent isnt to bad i.e creased.

i've done it twice on my celica and once on my solara, its makes it 'pre-ding' status...so if your paint was like new before, it will be like new later...just one word of advise, make sure the people that come to you are insured!
