Yeah, man. I have a dent at around the same exact place. It wasn't there when I bought the car, though, I'm 100% sure. I think some ******* smashed their arm or whatever in there and now it looks fuggly. There's also one just to the right of my left-side door handle, where some imbecile must've opened their door without paying attention to my ride.

thats gonna probably cost anywhere from 150-400 bucks depending on A)how good the body shop is B)how much are they willing to color match/if they color match and C) how much the materials are going to cost with the labor and what not... your better off just waiting until you get more dents and just paint the whole car a custom color

in that spot it will probably have to just be filled in with filler or fiberglass... most places use body filler and not fiberglass for a few reasons... fiberglass is messy, takes hours to dry per layer, and will probably take multiple layer to build up to make it even... kinda sucks becasue if they use body filler )and assuming that someone or something "hates" your car) if it is hit again in or near that spot it will probably crack and being eye level and in the front if they match the color just a little off it will show...

Its going to cost a couple hundred bucks. Sounds like the dent is pretty small and u coudl get away with bondo. THere probly going to paint from the door back(back quarter panel) to the begining of the bumper. If u try to spot it u will get a dry spot and it woudl look like ****. So like what was said your better of waiting for more dents and get it custom or what not. Its up to u if u want to spend hundreds for that lil dent. But i know that its upsetting to see that and want your got to be perfect. Idk what it is tho with new cars no matter what u do u always find dents. I got some in my ss which i never know wehre they come from. let us know what u come up with man good luck
