I had a car that looked like that after it was hit from behind .....

Was barely noticeable but was thousands of dollars to repair.....

Make sure it wasnt hit

All I can say is:

1 - if you don't like it, take it to the dealer.

2 - I'm the pickiest guy you would ever meet and there is nothing in the photo that concerns me. Maybe it just isn't showing up in the pictures, but you must have a pretty perfect car if you are looking that hard to be able to post, "does any one else have this problem"?

But you are the customer and you should be satisfied. I'm just not sure it would be worth having them put a new fascia on or try to fill and paint the area. If you trust their body shop, it might be worth it. Should be covered by warranty anyway so you shouldn't be out of pocket.

I would have to agree with number 3 on this one.. I dont see anything

Actually I think I noticed something similar on a friends car. A little waviness around the wheel well. I'm golfing with him on Friday, ill try to get some pics. he has several small paint blemishes, nothing major, its best not to touch them if they aren't bad.

I am looking, but cannot see it.

I have a similar issue with a bumper wave. It's there but I have personaly showed it to 3 people. 2 said I was nuts there was nothing there. The other one said it was there and I was nuts for noticing it. It's ever so slight. Would be acceptable on any car including Luxury models. I'm so happy with the fit and finish it's unbelievable.

FirstLSK · 06-10-2009, 08:40 PM

Looks perfect to me.

I know it was a challenge for GM to form that large rear quarter in one piece, efpardo, so I'll be checking mine, which I hope to still receive this week, very closely, but I can't say I see any problem in any of your photos. I am however borderline OCD, so if anyone's going to be on your side about this, it's me. I'll definitely keep you all posted....bookmarking now.

No Car is perfect.
Make sure the Cure is not worse than the illness.

Have a Independent Collision person that you trust take a look at it.

This may just be a ripple from the stamping process. Look at new Silverados above the rear wheel opening and you will see little ripples in most of them. I can't really say I see any in the picture of your Camaro but, it is hard to tell in pictures. I have similar ripples in the doors on my 86 El Camino, they are right around the base of the side view mirrors and they were that way from day one. It tends to be more noticeable because my car is black but, I doubt anyone but me sees it.

efpardo · 06-10-2009, 11:40 PM

Thanks for all the comments, feedback and advice. Here's the best picture I could take.

I'm okay with this really. I tend to be pretty picky anyway. Nothing's perfect, but it's still pretty close to perfect. I'm going to leave it alone.

Thanks again.

Seriously. I guess the car just isn't worth it then...guess I will order a Rolls Royce....ya know...for real "perfection".

Unbelievable what some people will fault, absolutely unfreakin believable.
