Most bizarre body damage

MSP370 · 12-25-2015, 08:06 AM

How long between when you got the car back and when you took these photos? Did you notice the rust at the same time that you noticed the damage, or did it start rusting later? Metal wouldn't oxidize that fast, so I'm thinking if it was rusty when you first noticed the damage, then it was probably not done at the shop.

I assume you got the Z used with the spoiler already on it?

It looks like somebody used the spoiler in pushing the car forward or pulled it backwards. The bando is so thick and the spoiler was not properly secured by the one who installed it. It's nothing bizarre, it's just a bad spoiler install from the previous owner I would think.

It looks like more of bando damage than metal damage. But I'm sure down the metal frame is the damage too. If that is an aftermarket spoiler I don't think the dealer will own the damage.
