Default inexplainable dent?

I have noticed over the past few months that there is a dent in my drivers side rear quarter panel. there is even a space now that is bigger between the trunk and quarter. I do notice that there are no scratches, paint from other cars or dings in that area. I also notice that whenever I launch the car, the dent seems to get deeper. Should I bring the car to chevy? I thought fiberglass wasn't supposed to dent?

I also scraped up one of my side skirts pretty bad. anyone know any good or cheap websites where I can get a stock one?

Thank you, your responses are appreciated.

Did you buy the car new?
If yes, then I would take the car to the dealer and complain.

If if you purchased used, it could have had repaired damage that you didn't know about. In any case, you need to have someone experience take a look at it to find out what the problem is.

Thats weird. I have run into a similar issue with 4th gen F-bodies, but they have steel quarters.
