    Mine is the same, on the left side. I'm not worried about it. Things are 'tight' brand new, and it's a removable body piece. Maybe one day I'll play with it.

    IMG_1750.jpg not sure you can tell since I already covered it up.

    Its not that bad. I had a paint marker in my car that came with my KB Voodoo rack that I covered it with to prevent any corrosion. Which I dont think the scratches were deep enough, just showed a little white which I assume is the primer. There is a little texutre to it now and its not smooth, but it'll be ok. Just a little annoying that dealerships aren't more careful, considering you can pull out the plug trim it.

    Anyone know what size Torx those bolts are on the strike?

    I would have lost my shit, and got their body shop to fix the paint. That's not acceptable for a dealer to half ass a repair with an angle grinder and cause collateral damage.

    I feel you, as I think its unacceptable. I'm also in the state of mind if they mess it up and you want them to fix it, I'm pretty sure they'll just mess it up some more.
