I live at the beach in NC, but the car is washed every 2-3 weeks, and every few days when we had brine on the road for ice. WTF gives, I knew the paint was weak, but this is ridiculous. Taking it to the dealership after work on Friday to have them check it out. Any guesses as to what it's gonna take to get this fixed?

There is an obvious impact mark right in the middle. You can see the stress cracks from it. I'm with the poster above, something from the road flew up and hit the edge of the fender just right and cracked it.
