It's a 26,000 dollar car. I beat the fuck out of it and don't feel bad.

Yeah, I'm with you. Mine isn't quite as bad (yet) but after my initial amazement at the crappy paint these have, I don't care either. My car is red, and the front bumper and hood look like they were over-sprayed with white paint. And I don't drive it off-road or through gravel pits. My Tacoma has about 67k miles, and it has barely any chipped paint, including the front bumper. My Lexus has 37k miles, and the front bumper is immaculate. FR-S paint jobs are truly abysmal. So obsess or don't give a crap? I choose the latter. This is the first car that I can imagine owning until it is totally toast.
And the few dings and scratches on the doors are patina as far as I'm concerned. One thing I've learned over the years is that it takes about three days to get over damage to vehicles, etc. After a day or two of obsessing, by the third day it's usually forgotten, even if it's your fault- like backing up into something and creasing your bumper.
