Dealership Marked up Side Skirts

Well of course the dealership couldn't just do a good job before I drive the car to Florida.

Some idiot with their foot on the way out of the car.. Considering they have the elite Corvette shop/sales building next door you think they would take better care of the things they are working on.

Rant over lol. See what they come up with I guess..

Let's hope they step up and admit to it... I had my front splitter and side skirts wrapped with PPF so I didn't need to go through that...

I wish i would have done that before also..

They did own up to it. Didnt try to deny anything, they will try to buff it out(i dont think it will buff out ) and if it doesnt. Then they will drill them out and repaint them PPF them, ceramic coat them again and then re-install them lol.

I was ok with just buffing and matt PPFing them since i believe it would hide them but if they will repaint them for me.. Why not i guess.. But worried they might **** that up also..

See what happens after my trip and go from there i guess.

Buffing / polishing them may remove the scratches but will 100% turn them glossy. The mat ppf may restore the finish, hard to say!

yea as soon as they buff them they will go glossy. So unless you are ok with gloss then buffing them isnt an option

are these the ACS ones?
Mine are ACS 1LE color and are sooo delicate a butterfly touching them will cause them to mar. I am going to look at satin PPF to protect them

Sorry just got back from Florida.. Yea they are the ones from ACS.. I havent gone to the dealer yet to see what we are going to do.. Ill let yall know the outcome after they do w.e it is they need to.. I have a feeling the will go glossy also.. At least a mat PPF would fix that i guess.
