I go a small dent the size of your pinky nail on my passenger door, right above the crease, and small dent on the egde of my passenger door. People love to smash passenger doors. Bleh, Now I park far away from other cars. I luv my civic too much to see her all dented.

I have a crazy amount of dings on my hood roof and trunk from acorns. I didnt notice untill it was too late they are very small and hard to see in certain lighting conditions. The tree has since been cut down.

You also have a 2004...you havent had much time to acquire any dings. Give it some time you will get some. The metal on our cars is super weak and light for better gas mileage and will dent and ding very easily.

I have an 04, and since its a daily driver, even thru winter, in the front it looks like i have speckled paint, front bumper is absolutely horrible and hood just has some huge chips out of it. the saleswoman that i got my car from saw my car and asked what the hell i did to it. i also have 30,000 miles on it and its not even a year old....-

No dings other than from bugs that can't fly straight. Other than that, i got like a 3 to 4 inch scratch on my passenger side from some dumb little kid who can't control his little scooter or whatever u call it. But tha scratch is not that bad.

My car was flawless at the beginning of the year but then a string of bad luck occurred. My aunt scraped the side of my car with her van. Totally messed up the door and rear panel, plus busted my taillight. Then two days later a lady was backing-up and didn't pay attention and ran into the front bumper of my car. Good thing she hit the plate though. Cool thing is that I'm getting it all fixed soon.

My car is black, therefore, whether or not i have more scratches than other people, it just looks that way. i swear im never gettin another black car. i can wax it all day long and it still looks like crap within a day or 2. but yea, i have some mean scratches. i nasty one on the right side of my back bumper where i backed up on top of a large rock (think something along the lines of a boulder).
