Bad panel gap example - Troll alert
Showroom floor Lexus RCF. Didn't Lexus have those neat ball bearing ads back in the 90s
The doors were worse. You could see the hinges through the gap.
Just saying.

Ha-ha yes the orange peal on the newer BMW's is terrible. I actually had a salesman tell me that's how its supposed to be. One of the reasons I ordered my M4 in flat white, less noticeable. Luckily, my paint came in looking great.

My '11 Inferno Orange ZR1 has plenty of the peel. But, I quit worrying about it 20 minutes after I parked in my garage 3+ years ago. Actually my new VY Z has more peel than my ZR. Both of my '14 Range Rovers have peel, and so does my '15 Tahoe. So too did the '13 MB GL550, '12 MB GL550, etc. I've recently had. None are perfect. If I want perfect, I need to spend considerably more money. But, what's the point, it's not like I'm driving my vehicles in a cleanroom.

Yeah...if you want to feel crappy about whatever you drive just visit the vette forum. We went through all this same stuff with the c7 last year and now we have to start all over again. BTW my wifes 15 Tahoe had perfect paint until she backed into the side of the garage door. My Silverado has great paint. My c7 has good enough paint. lol
