Alignment marks
I bought my car used with 1,200 miles on it. The rear wickerbill, tall front side wings and the brake cooling ducts were in the wrapper in the trunk.
I have done one HPDE day the the car handled well.
Inspecting the car I found marks like this on the suspension alignment points. Are these factory or did someone align the car? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Those are factory paint marks. If somebody marked their alignment settings the marks would be on the cam and the cradle. The bolt head with the paint mark turns with the cam so those marks don't show any alignment settings.
