I've had great luck w the paintless dent repair!! Usually about $100 and preserves ur orig paint, which is most important to me!! Find a good one that has at least 3-5 yrs experience.

Sucks cause its so new but eventually you'll learn to accept every little scratch and ding(if you wheel) and think it just adds character to your jeep..... In the meantime throw a decal over it

My first ding happened on the highway when a piece of debris hit my passenger fender just to the side of the headlight. Happened only a few thousand miles after buying it. I probably grew a few more grey hair over it, but a few days later got over it. Yours is nothing man. I wouldn't sweat it.

That sucks. I have 1,000 miles on my 2015. I would be pissed. I would just accurate my EVO rear corner rockskin mod. Powder coat to match body color for a factory look. Any future dings would not happen either. I like mods that come from damage, breaks on the trial, etc.

I know that sucks overall but
rather than have someone work with the paint and make things worse with orange peel or poor match, or to much clearcoat. id toss some sticker on there such as in these pics
and then go from there . Thats my opinion and what id do . some numbers or somthing that might work (the black ar 15 decal is perfect size ) one for both sides $ 14 for two Wait till you see your painted flairs after a winter in boston lol
maybe just put the arrow pointing to it like you have in the pic ---->

I actually used a paintless dent removal company, it wasn't one of the cheap ones ($200), but they had great reviews online.
The dent is now completely gone. You can't see anything, at all! Worth the $200 for my sanity.

Just had the same thing done to my 08 Sahara. Same spot. Mine was from someone pushing too hard holding me off a rock on my last trip. We did a glue pull on mine. That area is tough because it's double walled. My dent wizard tech said that though the metal is very thin, it's a higher strength steel than most vehicles. My flares are plastidipped for off-road protection but I promise it's a Sahara
