Bad news. Some careless fool banged it somewhere in delivery. Pretty straight vertical dent on one of the doors and the door handle is scraped up directly above it.  I was too eager to take it home that I didn't try to leverage a lower price or free things. Dealership did promise to make it right and fix it to my 100% satisfaction. They're replacing the handle and say they expect they can pull the dent out. A bit worried the repair may cause paint issues down the road and want the dealership to agree to cover that. Any advice?
I also ordered aero pieces all around & tint. So they're going to fix the damage and install everything else in a week or so. Should change the look quite a bit, will be like taking home a new car all over again. 
Incredibly happy with the way she drives. This thing is going to be the best thing I've ever bought. Never bought anything remotely new before, so I'm just overwhelmed with how nice this car is. Put 100 miles on it today just cruising around and feeling it out. My favorite thing about the look is seeing the BRZ logo in red on the seats, matching the brembos and the rear lights on an otherwise dark car.

Congrats On your purchase. I would have been just excited and screamed throw me the keys from across the lot. If the dealership said they would take care of you then you shouldn't have a worry about the damage you see now. If you think their is any chance of down the road damage I would suggest to get it in writing or a price adjustment on the vehicle. Of course thats just my .02 but their seems to be some wiggle room with new models maybe you can get a little off or something along those lines. But again enjoy your new vehicle and congrats
