if no paint came off, just take it to one of those places and they will handle it for like 100 bucks

no paint came off, but it is noticable. it's not a ding that goes in it's more of a protruding ding like it's pointed out. I will try to take a pic

Those ding specialists do a great job. I got 3 dings the 3rd day I drove my car. I finally decided to get ding insurance for 5 years because its really noticeable when you get them. I've had 4 repaired in the first year. There is no protection on the sides to prevent them. My RX has that side molding.

I had a large ding on the rear passenger side after having the car for only 1 week! I was like DAMN.... I just had it repaired by a dent removal technician. Now, it's brand new once again.

It's difficult to see it on this one, but if you look close right behind the driver's side door..it's there

if the dent didn't take paint off, then get it repaired. it doesn't cost an arm/leg to fix it. and you can polish the area after removing the dent to remove minor scuffs.
