***Update***
By some miracle I was able to get the Ford dealer I bought the car from to fix the scratches.
In addition to that I was given a 3 year free maintenance service and a loaner car for a week all for $500.
This is something that should have cost $1500 to have ford fix plus the rental for a week $200-400 easy and the maintenance $300+.
This was due because I had a horrible buying experience and lite the dealership up on the survey.
When I say bad I mean bad, I lived 2 hours away and had to make multiple trip due to bait and switch tactics which were just the beginning of my ordeal. I wanted a 6 speed, yellow, PP, non premium. The dealer said they just found one someone couldn't secure financing and it was available, I was excited made the 2 hour trip and as soon as I sat down they handed me the window sticker and it was for a premium.....at that point I knew they were either trying to screw me or completely incompetent and I'm leaning towards the former. That's just a little taste of my experience, not even 20% of what I went through. Due to the rarity of the car and the distance I traveled I think they might have thought they had me over a barrel and used that to their advantage. Fortunately, for me I got the car I wanted for the price but that was after getting dragged through the coals.
It took 3 weeks for them to pay my trade off as well, I had to make a payment in a car I didn't have due to them misplacing the paperwork and it was only due to my bank calling threatening me that I knew the dealer didn't pay......
The GM called me and said he can help with the scratches along with the other things to make it right. Talk about service recovery.
There is a second survey which will be sent out and as long as I don't get screwed or the paint job looks like ?!$& I'll give them a great score.
Right now I waiting for the car to be fixed, it's at the body shop right now but I have a rental so I'm in no rush.
Sometimes the bar eats you and sometimes you eat the bar....
***I'll post pics once I pick the car up.

Well I bought a 2015 GT triple yellow and 2 days after some jealous
**** keyed my car at my place overnight.
Long story short my insurance deductible is $500 and I've had a dent in a door before and once insurance gets involved your rates climb and also you get a dirty carfax. A door ding showed up as a side collision in my Beemer, so getting t-boned by a car is the same as an door ding. So I'm paying out of pocket.
Maaco want $560 and will use DuPont OEM paint and I feel even with there rep would be ok.
Other body shops are anywhere between $700 and $1200.
I'm planning on having the car for at least 3 years so I want to have the panels painted right.
Anyone know what I can do to get the best bang for my buck?
I really don't want to spend my intake and exhaust budget on scaratches but I can't stand these marks.
* I'm moving into a place with a garage soon mid April. I'm thinking about fixing it then, I've fixed body panels before. Touch up paint then wet sand then repeat to make it passable in the meantime. Then once I move have it professionally done.
My roush cat back, bama tune and air raid now have to wait.......worst part if I get it fixed the same ****er who most likely lives in my gated complex would love nothing more then to re key a fresh paint job.
