You are right. I have to stare hard at the area in order to spot it. What makes it feel 1,000% worse, is just the fact that is such a beauty and within so few miles on the clock.
The pictures was taken before I tried waxing it. Once I applied wax, the scratch alone almost completely went away. The dent is definitely PDR-able. I'd say no more than $200; got an appointment to get it repaired next week.

Thanks for the advise. Didn't see it that way. I'll see what the body shop says and go from there. Definitely, not a big job; like you said. If they make it bigger than it is, I'll walk away. Again, is just a sore thumb to me because it is hard to see to anyone else; even my wife was staring at me as if I'm going crazy (like the Twilight episode with the gremlin on the airplane wing)

Yes, this is PDR-able, and they can easily reach that spot through the inside of the back wheel well cover. I have a guy that does magic with PDR. It's just a matter of getting in his schedule :/
Thank you all for the feed back!
