I just took delivery of my white GT3 and am absolutely loving it, except for one cosmetic point. The seam in the body work that is just forward of the rear wheels (which would almost trace the presence of a stone guard, if it had one) looks much more visible to me than I would have expected. When viewed in certain light, it almost looks like a scratch--but it isn't. I didn't see it under show room lights, but noticed it in my garage when I got home. Anyone else have this issue? Is it normal?

Can you get it show in a photo?

Even if the seam doesn't show, a pic could at least show more clearly the area you're concerned about.

Sounds like a repair

Well the only thing I know about a new 140k car is that if I see something I'm not happy about, its going back until its right, no if's or but's about it !

Too late tonight, but will post some pics tomorrow.

This sentence make me suspect you are seeing the edge of the stone guard, which all 911's have. Try to look closer and see if that's what it is, especially if it is on both sides.

Agreed. There should be no seam weld there the rear guard is a complete panel and there should be a stone guard which is almost invisible as the car is new and it hasn't discoloured yet...

^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^

Yeah, just went out again to look and it is the stone guard. I'm speculating that the leading edge became visible in this way due to maybe some dust aligning itself on the edge combined with shadows in my garage. Hmmm.....normal?

UAEGT3

Yes normal, plus give it some time and it will start to yellow then it will be reallllllly visible.

And what do you do for a living? Lol (please don't take offence, couldn't resist)
The films today are better than they have ever been. The full car wraps are like the old days when granny would put the sofa pillows in plastic.

My detailer is taking those "smallish " OEM stone guards off as he extends XPEL protection on the rocker panels and around rear fender. That way you won't have that optical annoyance you are experiencing.:-)
