I think this car is problematic for recieving dings... Since i have had my IS i have had to have 3 dings popped. When i had my other cars none. How many have you guys had???

I've been fortunate as I only have one little nick/paint chip under my gas cap. I'm not sure how it happened but it's either my tires kicked up a rock or someone's door hit it. I always check for dents upon returning to my car in a parking lot.

This happened to me in the same area of my car. I was driving by a guy edging his lawn and a rock flew out and hit my car.

Luckily I have had my IS for 4 months now and no dings (knock on wood).

one small dent, i wish we had a PDR shop here to get it fixed, it's small that it doesn't deserve a new paint for it.

One decent sized dent from a tree branch about 1" in diameter.

Initial insurance appraisal: $514
Total cost to fix: $1358
$0 deductible and a great insurance company: priceless.
