I just found a nice dent in my left rear quarter panel. Gotta hit up a body shop to see how much they'd charge to pop it out and fix the paint

Man that's a pissoff. The same thing happened to me 2 weeks after I got my car last summer. I'm gonna get the touch up paint from http://www.paintscratch.com so that should help things a lil' bit.

I'm just happy that I can open my sunroof again. I was scared it wouldn't work today, seeing I hadn't touched it since October.

um i never use touchup paint. it looks horrable. just go to your local "any brand" dealership, and ask who does their airbrush touchups, and paintless dent repair. you will never know it was there.
