Has anyone noticed a poor fit on their rear bumper, just under the rear hatch ? My back bumper has ripples or waves to it. This waviness is very easy to see from 20+ feet away. The front bumper has a really nice fit, and I haven't found anything wrong with it. But the back is another story...it almost looks like a crappy body shop job, and hardly a fresh from factory install/fit.
It might be time to write NNA about the bumper b/c it looks bad. If I can get a good picture of it, I may post it here for others to compare to. I think 2 coats of Zaino made it really stand out, and its alot easier to spot now...
I have loads of orange peel too, but its not as obvious with the Chrome Silver. I guess thats a seperate issue, but it sounds like everyone has it.

Are you saying that your dealer refused to repair or replace it? Most dealers will be happy to accomodate you, as Nissan pays them for necessary repairs. If you haven't asked, give it a try.

I have not brought the problem up with the dealer...I picked the car up at night from a dealership over 100 miles away and had to rush home to beat a major snowstorm. I didn't even notice the poor bumper fit until after I got home and Zaino'd the car 1 time.
Of course this is the same dealer that tried to tell me the car I was picking up was mint, meanwhile there was a big scrape on the front bumper, which I am still waiting on their paperwork to have it fixed/replaced. They are a little shady, I think...but this was my first purchase from them, and I waited too long for the Z to let it go.
I will be looking for a local Nissan dealer to make these repairs, and handle all future problems...good thing I bought the 84 month/100k mile bumper to bumper protection, it may come in handy...

Got the same dimples. No orange peel though. I can live with it though. I would be too afraid that the paint would be off and that the snow ball would get bigger going down that hill. That is why I say "let it go"
