I def wouldn't take off the fender, you'll scratch up all the paint on the bolts. Leave them virgin for as long as possible. I'd just take a screw driver and pry that out. My girlfriend mauled a curb with the body right behind the fender a few yrs back. That would be something to cry about. What you have is something you brush off, and be glad you broke it in with just that.

If you plan to drive the S daily then get used to it.

Over time you'll forget if your like me hahah
Just because you don't drive the car daily doesn't make it immune to getting road damage.

I wash my car weekly.
And I swear every week theres a new scratch / rock chip / random damage


And mine didnt last anywhere near 6000 miles :before the first (what I consider major) damage.

and it won't be the last car you own to get normal wear/tear. don't sweat it. A car that sits and does nothing will have bigger mechanical problems than a daily driven one so you are at an advantage.
