Dent in the trunk from closing

Hey guys,

I'm pretty bummed out ... Today I noticed a dent right alongside the edge of my trunk lid that obviously came from closing it. It clearly resembles the heel of someone's hand. Anyone else notice this? Having the same problem?

Geez I just looked at mine and I have the exact same thing! It's hardly noticeable, but when the light reflects properly you can see it. Good thing my lip spoiler is getting installed today...

I have a small ding on the top edge of my trunk. It happened when I found out that my TSX is faster than my garage door going up

You guys actually press down on the door of the trunk? I use the interior handle that's on the right inside of the door. I just pull down gently and pull my hand out. I haven't had to touch the trunk exterior. Plus you get finger prints all over it if you do that.

True. Unfortunately, I didn't discover the handle until after I discovered the dent.
