2015 Base GT with options, question

[garyharris1986]

Just got my Magnetic GT. From the factory one of the hood scoops was guard instead of metallic. This was noticed and they ordered a replacement supposedly in the right color. Well, when it arrived it is just primer...they have to paint it. During that few days I have had it...I noticed a chip. See the below picture. They said they will have to pull the back window and trunk and re-bondo and repaint the whole area. Debating what I should do. Should I let them paint the whole back section???

I'm assuming you meant guard instead of "Magnetic" since guard is a metallic paint. That is pretty hilarious that someone in QA was colorblind. I would probably just return it and get another one before I dealt with repairs on a brand new car. It's a base magnetic, there HAS to be an identical one on a lot somewhere within range of you that they can trade for

Pulling the rear window can cause a LOT of leaking / creaking / other problems down the road. I'd just live with the chip in the paint, to be honest.

Ouch, I would have to have that chip fixed as it would bug the f@ck out of knowing it was there.

That being said, not sure I'm entirely comfortable with them having to do all that work on a brand new car. My fear is it would always be noticeable.

Can you post a pic that's further away.

This is completely untrue, window replacement is done ALL THE TIME with little to no noticable effects.

That being said I can not wait until a lexan rear/backhalf window set becomes available. I will rip out the back glass and load a lightweight lexan piece without one single worry of ill effects.

Its a very minute chip...but it bothered me...they put TouchUp paint on it and its much less visible...I'm just wondering if I should have them pull all that and rebondo/paint. Think the color will come out right? And the seals be good?

Its base, 6MT with the 5 spoke rims, enhanced security pack and 3.55 diff. And they aren't easy to find, had to hunt for a while.
