Those "creases" are normal. That little arm is part of a sensor. It's not a load bearing part of the suspension.

Those 'creases' you are talking about are normal. Looks the same on the GT4 and .1 GT3 as well. I believe they are for the pdls headlights

Thanks everyone -- I guess there is no suspension issue. Just an expensive repair to the wheel (just respraying the inside) and the brake caliper. I have my answer that they probably won't cover this issue under warranty.

Normal wear and tear. Not a warranty problem.
Just be thankful you didn't get a rock between the rotor & caliper or pads. Will score the PCCB rotor which is not cheap! And, they only sell them in pairs, so twice as expensive!!

yes those are normal, those are just to drive the sensor to level the head lights, also used for suspension compression measurements. But nothing wrong.

I guess the force field function on your car is defective.

That body crack where the rocks get stuck was the same for my 2015 GT3. I bought some black foam rubber stripping at Home Depot, cut to length, then used a plastic spatula to squeeze it in there.

It's just wear-and-tear. Accept and move on, or pay to repaint if that makes you happier.

Do you have any pics for this ? I'm experiencing similar issues with my PCCB's.
