Update on the shoddy paint on the front end.
I put some PPF on the longer tubes to stop any future stone chips. The PPF actually started to peel off taking the paint with it. This is proper car PPF that when removing will not affect your paint. I think the pictures show just how bad the paint is. I’ve sent them to the dealer hoping they will cover the cost of me getting my mechanic to remove them and send them off to get Cerakoted. There’s a company in NI that does the Cerakote and apparently you can hit it with a hammer and it won’t chip.
Though now I’m worried that if I take apart the front end, I won’t be able to get them on again without affecting the alignment. And reading the above comments about the cars being death traps if the alignment is wrong, I’m now worried I’ll have to then send my car to the factory to get it set-up correctly again.
