defective bumper mold?
 

I recently hit a game bird while travelling out-of-state and it broke one of my fangs and went along for the ride in my grill for 200 miles.
I have had an OEM replacement bumper ordered 5 times and each time it arrived it had a very shallow divot or depression about halfway between the passenger headlight and the Nissan badge right at the top lip of the bumper that is 2-3 inches across which causes a warped reflection.
I finally went to a Nissan dealer and found that 3 of 4 new 370z's on the lot had the same divot. Does anyone know if this is a defect in the mold? I'm guessing there may be quite a few Zs out there that were bought with this anomaly.

Any pics?

here it is. the lighting wasn't great, but I think you'll get the idea. I'm just wondering how many other people have this and haven't noticed.

ive actually noticed that myself, hmmm

Looks like a defect from the factory or damage from transport. Dealer fix definite.

I have that on my brand new '10. Was just noticing it today while doing my first hand wax.

Like I said, this is the fifth bumper with this defect that the Nissan dealership bodyshop has received and so far I have refused to accept it. The body shop marked the first couple that they sent back to see if Nissan was just shipping back the same exact bumper but they aren't.
I am going to the dealership tomorrow and discuss with them and see if I can get some answers from them or Nissan. I will let you know what I find out.

First hand job?!!! Outside?!! Nice LOL

I also have this on my 2010. My buddy noticed it the day I brought it home. When I asked my salesman about it, he didn't comment much about it. I've been living with it but if it's a defect, I wonder if Nissan will replace it. This would allow us to get some real paint on the new one:).

hmmm... funny ive noticed that ever since i got my z i thought someone sat on my bumper and dented it lol

what about those of us with 09's that have had our bumper for a long time? I guess we're **** out of luck. If we go to a dealer now, they will probably just blame us or do nothing... unless Nissan actually acknowledges the problem.

in for update!

haha i have this too i thought i did it but guess not

mine does not have that dent. :confused:

and im very sensitive to dents (PDR tech).

Screw this thread! I'm pretty sure I don't have that dent, but I'm going to be staring at my bumper to make sure if it. If I do, I'm going to be really pissed and obsessed over it. Dammit!

this sucks i just washed my car on my lunch break and now im starting to wonder if i have one. Crap mannn. now i have to go look :eekdance:
