Front Bumper Issue
Looking at a lot of '05s and '06s on the lots, I've noticed the front bumpers on several cars have a dimple, or indentation, about the size of a tennis ball in diameter and slightly indented on the driver's side just above and left of the fog light area. You can really notice it standing directly above the area. Anybody else notice this? Anybody looked into it if you have one with the problem? Curious since we have an '06 on order.

no not there - but on my 05 at the front bumper / hood line i have noticed right about where the hinges are on both sides the front bumper raises slightly about 1/8 of an inch. the only way you really notice it is to put a strait edge on it and then you see the hump.

Not on mine, I'm in your area, but it's a New Jersey car from Kerbeck

...Just to be clear. Yes, they were on the cars on the lot as well visible on some other members car pics posted here. It's no big deal to me. If I have some time this weekend I'll take some pics to share... but I will most likely be out driving her instead
