I can only wish you the best in whatever direction you decide to move forward with both of which will be a pia sooner or later.
Thanks a lot. My next move will be to get the wheel bearing/hub replaced assuming the dealer where I bought the car agrees with that under warranty. That should help finish up with this PIA issue I have already spent a lot of time on. The door panel rattle should be covered without any grief under the factory warranty also. And.... If all goes as planed, I will then just try and recover the $885 I spent on the damaged front end part. If I don't succeed with this, as long as the car is fixed, I'll be OK. I'll get to the dealer within the week where I bought the car but it's 25 miles from my home. That is a PIA for me!
AND If they won't fix it under warranty, I'll go back to the dealer close to home that repaired the last part and have them install the bearing at my cost. Then I'll go after the dealer that sold me the car for both repairs costs along with other out of pocket expenses.

OK here's the unofficial results at the dealership where I bought the car from. They did diagnose and repair/replace under warranty my front left wheel bearing/hub Assy. They got the factory to pay for it. I have not picked up the car yet but they claim all of the weird tire roar is now gone. They are currently looking into a left door rattle that happens when the window is rolled all the way up. This seems common as I have read on the forum. They gave me a loaner to drive during this visit and I won't see my car till Monday. It looks like my PIA issues may be coming to a welcome end and I finally may be just driving and having fun as originally planned!

Default Final Thoughts

I picked up the car today and all I can say is WoW. The car now seems perfect at the moment. The car no longer has that tire roar sound even around bends going 1 Billion MPH. Well slightly slower but I'm so glad this PITA car crash issue may now be finally over. As for the dealership, they have done as best as possible to correct their Sale Department's BS. I have a new Service Writer friend that will help out in the future if needed. All the Service Department personnel were very nice to deal with. SO..................

Am I glad I kept the car............ You Bet. I ended up with a car that now any Z owner would be happy to drive. Mechanically and cosmetically problem free "for now" and 2years/28/000 miles of factory warranty remaining.

and "lawyering" up is NEVER as easy as it may sound. My advise is to watch out for shady dealerships and always CYA if you are buying a New or Used vehicle from them. I got tired and didn't cover mine as intended. Still, no regrets at this point other that that $885 could have paid for my paddle shifting upgrade and my K&N drop-ins had the car not had issues.
