Super well maintained in the interior and under the hood based on the service records provided to me and stated on the carfax. I asked the owner about this and he denies having changing the bumper or the color. I realized shortly after that there is even a bulge in the bumper that is very hard to see but I tried to get a good angle ( under the 2nd rivet). Even one of rivets looks shifted. Could this have been hit? Did the owner cheat me on this?

Not everything makes it on to the Carfax, so it could have been hit. Or, it just could have been painted and matched poorly. These cars are famous for rock chips. My 40th had lots when I bought it and I had the bumper re-painted.
