Does this look like damage from transport/delivery?

    It can!!!
    Will it be perfect, depends on the guy....
    Worked with a bodyman at my ford dealer for 10+ years & then he went full time pdr, this guy is amazing.
    He fixed my moms fender that should have been replaced...
    Im like Rick, its done, I dont see anymore damaged, its good, stop.....
    He put in 20 more minutes..

    Big question is due to location at the curve & short span of metal, the glue & stick may not work as may be really hard metal right there..
    Will have to push it out from the back, requires teardown of interior.
    Thats why I suggest going to dealer, atleast trying, what do you have to lose..
    Markus clearly doesnt want to be bothered with that, which is fine, he's allowed his mindset...
    The dings in his truck & the other post are identical, just different location.
    What-ever caused the mark on the other truck could be what caused the mark on his...

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    Have you paid for PDR in FL? Used it many times there and it’s always been under $100 a panel.

    I’m sure it’s cheaper in Commiefornia too, just like everything else is there.

    Both examples look like kids shooting air rifle bb's or pellets at the Tacos on passing transport trucks. Don't ask how I would know.

    Nice! Hopefully the paint bond wasn't compromised. Looks great!

    Looks great markus.
    did they do stick & glue or pushed it out from the back?
    You know im going to ask how much....?
    Hopefully under $200.
    Some charge alot...
    Services have gotten out of control in certain areas.
    My guy would have charged me im guessing about $50 for something like that but thats a bro deal as he was a bodyman for the dealer I worked at before he went full time pdr.
    But pricing like that would be unheard of in the real world.

    Try to polish out the scratches?

    No scratches, $300…worth every penny. The guy worked over 3 hours he tried the glue method and had to resort to getting through the back with his tools. Very little space to work in there.

    Didn't know the 4Gs were available with rear defrost. Any idea if the cab spoiler is removable? Looks like it, I could see a replacement spoiler with provisions to mount some chase lights. Body work looks good.

    Good luck trying to get a Stealership to own up for damage. We had a Subaru Forrester delivered from 120 miles away and one of the dealerships had somebody spin gravel all over the back of it. Neither dealership would own up to who did it or who tried to repaint the car and half ass the repairs and repaint. My wife didn't want to wait to pick up her new car and got it while I was at work. I about died when I pulled into the driveway and saw the tailgate and rear quarter full of poorly filled repairs from all the dings in the body. The tapelines were even clearly visible.
    My wife took ownership and for a year they wouldn't fix it and we could not even drive it. No matter what we did no body would budge until I finally got a Subaru regional rep to look at the car. He immediately got us another one and said it was 2 dealerships playing games over who was responsible. We were so disgusted with Subaru we traded the replacement car and bought a new Toyota Sienna. Defiantly did not feel the love at Subaru.

    It’s all good! It is what it is at this point and it’s fixed…
    Bottom line is you didn’t have to repaint…
    Nothings cheap anymore, not even a burrito…

    Yeah, not only that, I gave the guy a huge tip! $100…you can’t buy happiness, but you can spread it around.
