It is tough to tell from your pictures but what you may be looking at is the adhesive/plastic film that is bonded to the rubber gaskets (2 large and 2 small triangle gaskets on each end underneath the spoiler).
Last weekend I removed the spoiler to examine and clean under it (4K miles) and saw that some of the adhesive/plastic film was peeling off the gaskets. They also act like spacers.
There was also some scuffing off of the paint down to the aluminum in the area of the gaskets. What I discovered is that the dirt that accumulated under the spoiler near the mount points acted like an abrasive rubbing off the paint where clearance was not wide enough.
To fix I clear coated over the two small bare aluminum spots. Put on some clear Xpel film. Then used 3M double-sided tape/cushion under the original gaskets to add extra thickness. Will try to keep dirt from accumulating there in the future.
Created a thread with a little more detail that tells about spoiler removal. Some folks are getting dealer to repair bare spots via warranty. But, not sure if the dealer is doing anything to prevent same problem from happening again. That is why I tried my own solution, my concern was to catch it early before major problems.
Congrats on your new Carolina 1LE that will come in handy on the Tale Of The Dragon !!!
