Saw a crack
Was jacking up my car yesterday and I noted a penny size maybe smaller size crack on the passenger side body panel. Was frustrated as I did not notice this last time I had my oil change (last July). Now I cannot make a claim about this damage. Just one question. If I purchased the side skirts (Caravaggio or ACI). Will this hide the crack on the side panels- the crack is just under the door where it starts to go around the bend going to the underbody panel. Or is it cheaper to have it repaired with maybe bondo and repaint the whole panel. It's not noticeable from 2 maybe 3 feet as it is under but can be seen at close up.

I had similar small damage in the rear end panel.
Was not noticeable, but I knew it was there and had to have it fixed.
Hope yours works out
