Use a paint-less ding guy to spoon out the ding, and try McGuires Scratch & Swirl removal to clean up the paint. Do your best not to have the panel entirely painted. Sorry man... hate those people. That's why I always park in the furtherest spaces, away from it all plus the added exercise does wonders for my beautiful bod...lol!

you didn't by chance take up more than one parking spot, did you? (straddle the parking line) If not, I feel for you... I hate careless parking.

Never I always park my car right in the center because I don't want other cars hit me when they open their doors

Also, MOST drivers are by themselves. Parking on the passenger side in an end spot is key.

I assumed so, just wanted to be sure. There are those sorta like us who care about their cars, but then park in ways that invite damage, and then the rest of us who park normally and ask that the world leave our cars alone. Sadly you found some @55h07e who doesn't respect property.

Again, sorry to hear about this. This is one of my biggest peeves about people.

we're in the same boat, my cf diffuser is all cracked up and a small dent with cracked paint on my bumper. think it was a truck with those bike cranes in the rear based on how small of an area the dent was

My method of avoiding the door dings, from an obviously careless person, is to park next to someone who has some kind of (nice looking) modification to their car and looks like they take pride in their car; if the opportunity is there. If not, park very far

Sh*t happens though. We've all had it happen.

It's the herd instinct. Clapped out '65 Impalas are attracted to anything shiny.

Same thing happened to me, such bs. No note, no nothing. Just a huge dent in my fender. I honestly don't even know how they did it but the only thing we could hope for is karma to take its course.
