Looks like a very simple adjustment that any decent body shop can handle. I'd take it to the dealer and ask them to do it, sooner the better.
Yeah, it's going to the dealer this week. With 800 miles on the clock, I hope that they don't try to pull some excuse. That being said, there's no visible damage or scratches to indicate culpability on my end (i.e. someone tampering with it). Also, if someone wants to tamper with the car, they'd go for another spot.

Funny enough, my STi had a massive dent on the same area of the car. Not sure how or when it happened. Almost looked like someone kicked it in.
