Ignore it, wait til someone hits your car and they can pay and fix it at their cost. J/K Just do what c0ld suggested if it really bothers you that much..

Every ding on your car reduces your aerodynamics which leads to a loss of -10whp.
So, if you have 2 dings then you'll get -20 whp.
Better watch out man, these dings will turn your car into a Civic!

Yeah, paintless dent repair is the way to go. i've spent about 400$ at the paintless dent repair place. how is it that you can part at the far end of every parking lot that i drive my car to, but somehow some ****** still find a way to give you door dings, etc? oh well....
