Something rolling around in door on passenger side (I think)
A lot of random sounds coming from the trunk area Maybe the hooker wasn't completely dead?
Small bumper paint scrape from someone tapping me in the parking lot. Try some meguiars ultimate compound unless it's a deep scrape and requires touch up paint.
Lots of crickets (I can hear them even when driving sometimes) Try 2 oz of 2-stroke oil per gas tank; that has seemed to help. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21980

Your signature says your car is a 2013. It's new? If so ... the car has been sitting in a lot for the last 2-3 years. I'm sure that has something to do with some of your observations.

there's a certain hole in the trunk chassis that you can stick an earplug in that'll get rid of the trunk noise (if it's the trunk noise I had to deal w/) search the forums for more details.

Garage Queen or just drive it and enjoy. At some point we must decide. I decided quite early on....Like day two of new car ownership. Now, 17 months later, and with 26,000 miles on it...I can't look back. Scratches, nicks in paint, rock marks in w/s, front bumper damaged at base, can't worry. This car is designed to be driven on bad roads and things happen in those places. Additionally nothing I could do to avoid flying things on freeways. The car is way lower than most other vehicles on the road, so it's front bumper and w/s are going to receive rocks, pebbles, unlike higher cars. This car will surely bottom out, various places as well. And there's just no way to keep front bumper from hitting things, even in the city. Why should I let it's second owner have all the fun ?

Tiny specks in front windshield
Slight sun damage on headlights
Something rolling around in door on passenger side (I think)
A lot of random sounds coming from the trunk area
Small bumper paint scrape from someone tapping me in the parking lot.
Lots of crickets (I can hear them even when driving sometimes)

What do you guys think? Am I hypersensitive due to it being a new car? Does anyone else think like this?
kind of normal for a three year old car but now you have a list of things to fix! :

Body stuff probably the most expensive to get fixed but best to get fixed all at once by getting quotes from several body shops, most of this stuff is the fault of the environment the car is in :
Scratch from window guide on passenger side
Tiny specks in front windshield
Small bumper paint scrape from someone tapping me in the parking lot.

Easy fix:
Slight sun damage on headlights- headlight restoration kit? OR buy some jdm replica winjets with an HID kit because they look dope imho

Deeper possibly more work, might as well let dealer deal with it stuff:
Something rolling around in door on passenger side (I think)-
Remove door and take it apart, take this time to remove and dynamat both doors, maybe even the trunk as well?

A lot of random sounds coming from the trunk area- read above, check tools, that rear parcel shelf clips etc. even the tools and spare related stuff.

Lots of crickets (I can hear them even when driving sometimes)-
Normal ignore them

Door Panel Removal:

First I'd check and make sure the sound is not something under the passenger seat.

There are various videos on YouTube for door panel removal...this just one. Note: This video goes beyond just panel removal.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6TIt9nEB9M"]Vertical Door install Scion FRS Part 4 - YouTube[/ame]

And OP needs to let us know if his car is still under the 3/36 warranty. If so, at least three of the complaints would be fixed for free. Rattles in trunk, there are various fixes for...various technical service bulletins...a problem with 2013 models only. Side window scratched, a fix for that. Rattle in door not common, so possibly the car has been in a body shop for repairs to that door, with no attention to detail of putting parts back in door properly and completely...or may be related to side window scratched by something in door. Crickets, as others have said, totally normal.

Yep I'm still under my 3/36 warranty so far as I know. I'm gonna give it a go. I'm leaving my car with the dealer Saturday so they can get my glowing badges working (because they've never worked, bought the car @18k miles) and I'm going to see if they can check the door panel to see if anything is rolling around in there.
