Wow...I'm surprised they didn't use heat.
Knew of an old school way of rolling fenders with using a hard rubber curved block and mallet, but paint will only stretch so far before chipping without heat.
They going to be able to paint just the chipped areas? Or do they have to do the quarter panels too? I'm hoping not the quarter panels, for your sake.

^^^repainting the affected area but clearcoating the entire quarter panels, left and right...to avoid blotching. plus i'm getting my bumper repaired from another mishap.

Dang... a few things on your plate.
Good luck with all that. But bet looking at your new GT-S's makes it easier, I hope
That sucks big time! I did my old 03 g sedan with only one hair line flaw (less than a finger nail) because like they said paint can stretch so far from its original painted form. But all-in-all you couldn't see it and my friends were surprised of how it came out. I have the pro fender rolling tool and a pro heat gun! You guys can rent it off me for $45 but need a $250 deposit, which will be refunded back once both heat gun and fender tool is returned without any damages.
