Dent on the hood...
I parked in downtown Denver on the street last Friday night. It's not until Saturday morning when I found there is a dent on the front side panel and a little blood and dirt on the hood. It seemed like someone were fighting and landed on my car. I am more sad than pissed. It's a small dent, but it's VERY obvious. The car is not perfect any more.
Now I am debating if I should change the whole right side or have some dent place to fix it.
Great lesson for me - never park where there are drunk people walking by...

If the paint isn't cracked, I'd try a paintless dent repair facility. Dings-Plus, Dent Pro, or Dent Wizard. Some of them will even come to your house or job. The good ones leave no sign of previous damage or repair.

I had a dent on right on the crease of my door, Local dent guy got it out and I would never know that it was there. The job was perfect.
Defiantly worth checking out.

Yes, have a dent-a-fix place (hey, that's a pretty good name! I should get it registered ASAP!) fix your dents/dings!
Take a look at my dents that a HONDA dealer did to my car when they checked my spark plugs!
It's all fixed now. . .can never, ever tell! Trust me, had I been able to see just a smidge. . .they would have been proud owners of two used S2000 fenders. . .

I know how you feel man.
I just had my S2K scratched and fixed and
it just aint the same.
Personally I'd leave it until you have done shit-loads
of research first to find the best way to deal
with the problem.
Buying a new panel and having it painted may lead
you to my problems (see "minor scratch - major horror story").

Ting,
I'm sorry to hear about your car. I have only parked mine downtown a few times. Every time I was in constant view and only once was it unattended.
Good luck in getting the dent fixed. You should try a paintless dent place first. It won't hurt, if it looks worse then get the whole quarter panel replaced.
oh yeah,
I was at the track last time and the owner told me you went for lessons and he got you car up to 104MPH in the straight-a-way. Did you have fun?
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, I'll give these PDR place a try. Will post before and after pictures.
I thought about the carbon fiber hood, with our light weight aluminum hood, I don't know how much performance we can gain though. But it's not going to help my situation, as the dent is on the right panel.
Kupe, I am really sorry about your car.
Kwando, I had a ton of fun on the track. I think I've even improved on go-karting after that.
