WTF? I just found a dent in my car. It's so subtle that it took a little bit of study in order to call it out for what it is. Just above the downward crease in the driver's side rear quarter panel, if you look at it in the right light you can see a small depression. And if you run your fingers over it, well, it's definitely there. Sure doesn't look like any ding I've ever seen. The paint is 100% undamaged. Whatever caused this must have been very blunt.
IDK if I should go to a PDR shop or not. Still haven't figured out how much it matters to me.
And now I can't un-see what I've seen.
Damn it.

Yup found one in my roof between the sunroof and windshield, but by the time I found it it had already started rusting. Still need to get that looked at...
Yes they are relatively inexpensive, been there done that... For a huge ***(literally size of an average ***) dent in my rear quater panel I was charged 150 IIRC
It's like someone threw a little orange at the car. Weird.

Thank you, I wanted something a little different from what the majority does with our sedans. Yea, I was looking to upgrade the lenses at the same time. Pardon the newb but what does "IIRC" stand for again? lol

You taking your headlights to 180? I have a local guy who does pretty good work, if I'm not mistaking he recently did Kenny's 370Z.
No they're already done by 180 and owned by a guy in Brooklyn, who's keeping them for me, and when we'll do the swap, I'll be getting them repainted, can't decide if to get them done gloss black (considering I want my grille gloss black) or matte black (but I'm leaning more towards gloss for better contrast with gloss black grille) and clear lens swap as well as hopefully lambo orange eyelid. And I know which guy you're talking about Pedro, Drew Brown right?

Yes that's him. Yeah he does some cool work. I wanna see how your headlights come out after you get em done
Looking forward to your review!
Ah, no. No it didn't.
However, after removing the leather on the sides, I was able to sand the gouges in the hardened plastic relatively smooth, then mask it off and primer the black section. Next up, some paint... not sure what color. The point being, I actually salvaged the OEM **** for winter use, if it comes to that.
In the meantime, OMG am I loving this Ti ****!!! It feels so-o-o right in my hand.
