defective bumper mold?

I would call that a "warp(ed)"! Probably cheap plastic, or the plastic is to thin.

I stopped by my dealer today and the salesman I talked to acted like it wasn't a big deal even though I showed 3 of the 4 Zs on their lot also had the same divot. (typical response)
I encourage everyone who has this to call Nissan Consumer affairs at (800) NISSAN-1 (or 800-647-7261). I will be calling them first thing tomorrow morning.
This is my first Nissan and if I don't get satisfaction it will be my last Nissan. I'm not asking for the world. Just what I paid for! It may be a small thing but when one pays 40K one expects some quality.
I do have one thing on my side. I am not paying the body shop for my replacement bumper until I get one that is divot-free. They will just have to keep ordering and ordering until a good one arrives.
