Warped Panel

I noticed this panel under the car behind my right front tire is warped. The driver's side is fine. Has anyone else had this problem?

Are the dark areas indentions, or it it just lighting?

I'm not sure what you mean. The darkest area is space where the panel has warped below the side of the car.

I personally don’t see any issue there. These are mass produced cars and have minor imperfections.

If you wish to pay double the price, MAYBE such things can be nearly totally eliminated. Aggravating? Sure. It can be replaced/adjusted if it bothers you too much.

Thanks guys. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. Just curious if this is an anomaly or if others have this.

Get under there, loosen the mounting bolts and try to get it to sit right, then tighten it down. If it's better, that's good. If not, drive it.

I had to reposition both my front and rear bumpers plus the right front wheel well liner on my '14. That was about 4 years ago and all is well. They don't always get everything right in Bowling Green.
