I love mine too. I was thinking the day before it happened that I've been lucky to not have anyone open their door into me yet and no scratches. With no side molding, there is less protection of course. Little did I know I'd be keyed soon after that thought. You park away from most people and still can't win. :-(

I got two quotes to repaint, with one $180 less than the other (because of a friend of a friend). Connections sure help! Found a shop that used to be the body shop for a Toyota dealer. Trying to get it fixed this week. They have to repaint the whole passenger rear panel and feather it into the door to match well.

The car is done and looks better than ever (they detailed it before giving it to me). At least now I found a great body shop if I ever need it again (Tully's Body shop in Huntington, LI). They even had an oven to cure the paint quicker.
