    Damn, that's super noticeable. I'd be pretty upset if I were you OP. Can't slay any vag when your ride looks like that!

    Yeah my dealer would have some explaining to do. Do you know if the truck happens to have a wrap on the front which could (shouldn't) be creating that effect?

    Your truck man. If you're not pleased with the quality, it's your right to confront them. Just be polite about it and I'm sure they'll be willing to investigate the issue.

    Is it both sides or just the passenger side? If it is just the one side, I would bet something happened to the door and fender so they had to be repainted. Its a good bet it didn't leave the factory like that.

    That does not look right at all OP, that looks like it was repaired or painted 2 different times and either paint isn't fully cured or not blended at all. Some Silver Streak Micas looked like that back in the day, hard color to match/blend.

    Real strange that this happens with MGM 2nd and 3rd gen. Seems a roll of the dice. Mine is okay and not different.

    That being said, OP yours is VERY noticeable, where as with some 2nd gen it looks a touch off but not anywhere near as contrasting as yours.

    looks like it was repaired or had the door replaced, I'd complain.
