Default Yellowed stone guards at delivery

I just picked up my new Carrara White 2022 Carrera S but I think the stone guards might be slightly yellowed.
It's only visible when looking at them from an angle.
Has anyone noticed something similar?
Would this be covered under warranty?

This can occur when the film is applied to the paint before it is fully cured, It will be covered under warranty I believe. Don't live with it in any case. Any good PPF shop can fix it if Porsche won't.

They need to be careful and heat the film up 1st.

If the paint wasn't fully cured prior to film placement, removing film can lift the paint.

Just to close the loop on this, my dealership agreed to replace the stone guards under warranty while my car was at my detailer getting front PPF and ceramic.
So I avoided having to go back and forth.
Really good experience overall!
