Dent..From what?:S I washed and waxed my Trans Am today.
After I was done I noticed a dent on the rear 1/4 panel passenger side almost Directly over the wheel well.
NOW you have to literally dance around in order to see the dent, it's very hard to notice but under the right light and looking around on the panel you could probably find it.
Now would this be from the flexing problems these cars have or from factory? Car only has 1200 miles now, bought it with 593 miles. and havn't really punched it that many times.

I have 2 matching ones.. 
.very small-you have to really look to see them....I have been told many have them..I only had 1 for a long time and really thought something had actually dented it..its apparently from the torque/strain..?? where in Canada are you btw..........

It happens to all of them - even at the stock HP. My T/A had them by about 10K miles.
When I started to do serious upgrades a good set of SFC's were definitely in order. I installed the SFC's, had the Dent Wizard take out the creases, and they have been fine ever since - even with the #'s in my sig (and I do get on the car all the time)

How noticeable are your guys dents?
Like this one I have YOU REALLY HAVE TO BOB YOUR HEAD AROUND in order to see it, I think it's from factory cuz on that same panel I also have a dent what appears to have been made from the inside, I popped off the panel and nothing there to of made it do that?

Look up paintless dent removal for more info and the process.

They will have to drill a hole for those because there is no other way to get to it other than through a hole. Its no big deal though and nobody would ever notice. It is drilled through the door jamb and then they put a rubber grommit to fill the hole and its really no biggy. And go get some SFC on that car!
The Painless Dent Wizard that did my 'torque creases' in the rear quarters did NOT drill any holes - he got at it from the inside somehow after I removed the plastic side pieces in the hatch as far as I know.
I would have NEVER let them drill any holes.

Dent Wizard never drilled holes they went in thru the inside and massaged the dent out.
Other shops said, " we have to drill a hole" I wasnt going to have that happen on a car that was 3 months old.
I would rather pay a littlemore to have it massaged out then have a hole get put into my car, and have a ugly grommet there.
For those of you freaking out about drilling a hole in your car, stop. I'm about as **** as they come with my car, and I would much rather have a 0.5" hole filled with a plastic grommet than to have door dings all over my rear quarter panels. Can they do it without drilling? Yes, but it takes a lot longer and is typically more expensive. I paid $75/per panel and had SEVERAL dings removed at once.
See the attached picture. I would hardly call that "huge".

If a hole can be avoided why not avoid it? Why would anyone take a hole in your car when you can spend a little extra and have it done right and massaged out.
It doesnt make sense to me at all to hae a hole drilled in the car when you have other options.
It is like wiping before you poop.
