I feel your pain. Had a nice sport truck that went seven years without a scratch, buy the subie and hello door dings.

Nothing really to do other than not ever driving it.
You might try parking far enough out to get away from the lazy asshats that don't wanna walk but not so far it looks obvious. Also try to find the nicest cars to park next to.

no idk i never knew it came with one

Well....
Which owner are you for the vehicle? You should also take it to the dealership and see wtf is up. They might fix it for free just like they can disable the seat belt light for free.

Do you have an electronic key fob for an alarm? It should have been with the keys when you got the car.

i always park farther away than necessary. Im a city dweller, so an extra 45 seconds of walking is inconsequential, and unless its xmas at the mall, i usually park alone. STIs are nice, but not nice enough to merit envy "rich-douche" keyings. Rock chips, on the other hand....

Also, my handles and surrounds are scratched to hell from daily driving. The paint is just soft and any/everything seems to scratch them

It seems like even a gentle windy breeze can scratch the paint!

Ok that may be a little bit exaggerating! :lol:
