I’ve read through a ton of threads and don’t recall reading much about this problem w/ newer Vettes. When my 27’ is built and I pick up at MM I will be looking over the car for every little thing, or ding. But I consider myself to have an extremely detailed eye. But little things that I know I might see I might let go. Because I know they are things no one else or a large number of people would never see. But if it’s an obvious ding or paint issue it will be addressed. I understand this car isn’t hand made and it rolls off an assembly line. But I still expect to see a high level of assembly and attention to detail.

Also make sure it is not 'reflection'. These cars are very reflective. I was ready to buff one out.

You'll notice all sorts of dimples and creases in these composite panels over time as you view the car in different angles and lighting conditions.
