Line along rear bumper/quarter

I may be nitpicking or just looking too far into this.

But does this seem normal? I noticed both sides have this line, at first I thought maybe the previous owner did rear bumper PPF but I don’t think so. It’s along the edges of both the bumper and quarter, you can also see it around the side marker. Literally an outline of any edge of the panel.

My nail can, ever so slightly, catch on the line.

I do not see it anywhere else on the car.

I also have same lines, it’s probably part of the moulding process and more noticeable on the white cars

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know!

My 2018 has the same molding artifacts in that panel. You are definitely not alone
