Bodyshop trying to fool me

My 06 g35 sedan was rear ended. The bumper, rear floor, and other misc parts had to be replaced. When i picked up my car today, i noticed a crease on each side of the rear quarter panels. The body shop told me they noticed it and said they looked at other g sedans and thats how they all are. I need everyones help. Can you guys run your hand flat across your rear quarter, right below the gas door and tell me if you feel anything like a dent. I am confident i am being screwed over.

Ill have to post pics in the morning. Its too dark right now. They almost look like dimples. When i rub my hand flat on the rear quarter, you can feel a crease. Its most noticeable on the pass side, right under the gas door. I looked at another sedan and i didnt feel anything. It was just a smooth flat surface

Just molested my '06

If you are talking abou the area where the mudflaps would bolt on, then yes there is a crease that runs from the wheel well to the rear bumper.

Was hard to see, so i took a finger from the gas door and ran it straight down. About a foot down, i found the crease.

Also, run your hand across, not from top to bottom. I can feel it right under the gas door, in the middle. I pointed where its at.

I can't see much detail in the pic, but is your finger pointing to the area where the crease is?

There shouldnt be any creases there. Also, the gap on between your taillights and bumper seems really off and your gas door looks sunken in....
