Before speaking with the tech, myself and my other two staff noticed the cracks and looked high and low for signs of impact or curb type damage. The paint was still flawless, no signs of scuffs or spiderwebs. Originally, I assumed it might have hit something, on the lower bumper, to push the bumper down and cause a crack. The tech came out later and we asked, he said the cracks formed after some high speed runs. Keep in mind, this shop has a full 1/4-mile and long shutdown lane on site. They hold several 60-130 mph events on this track, basically from rolling through the staging lanes and hitting the starting lane at 50+ mph. They log these 60-130 runs on several cars, some pushing 1500 rwhp. So, this wasn't done on the street.
Maybe this is an isolated case. Maybe it was a freak of automotive occurrences. The ONLY fact we have here is that these cracks exist, and the fact that this shop did some high speed trial runs. They have had the car about a week, it is a production car from a local Chevy dealer.
