I feel your pain man, I got mine two weeks ago too. On the fender right on the seam which is pretty nasty spot to fix, I haven't fixed it yet but I gotta do it someday.

I've had my car over a year and got my first ding a couple of weeks ago. I immediately took it to a PDR guy and had it pulled. Can't even tell it was ever there. I can't stand to see a ding on my car.

I know how you feel a week after I got my tc I was at my gf and somebody did a dig to my fender and broke my windshield. looks it was done with a bb gun. but get use it because the fenders are not that strong and get ding from anything.

I know what you mean, some people are just disrespectful and need to learn the hard way. For instance, last month I parked in the parking structure at my school, leaving an almost obnoxious amount of space between me and the parking spot next to me. I come back to find some dip$hit over the line of my space and a nice big ding on my passenger side door!!! Needless to say I keyed the whole side of their car. Maybe next time they'll think twice before pulling that crap. Sorry to hear about that man, hope you have better luck in the future.

I got my ifirst in a Walmart parking lot, ____ed me off so bad. The parking lot is in a downhill grade towards the opening of the store and someones cart managed to find its way to my front left fender. It was at night too so I didn't notice it until the day after when i went to wash my car and saw the dark mark. I thought it was only dirt or something but nope, three symmetrical scrathes.
