Bump from underneath poking up??
So i owned this zl1 for about 5 days now, i never noticed but there is s bump pushing up from underneath. And in person can clearly be seen but in pictures like this one you can see clearly I'm certain angles. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is there something i should look for that could be causing this poke? Any help would greatly be appreciated because now I can't stop looking at it.

Hopefully the dealer can fix it. It looks like it’s right above the grill frame.

Is the car new, or did you buy it used?

Hey! You are in Roseville too? Where abouts? West Roseville here. I have an ‘18 NFG as well! Maybe I’ll see you around.
That bump should not be there!!

Lol yup! This is the one. Been following this one since it was at the dealer for a while. Got a decent deal on it. These dang cars dont depreciate at a nornal rate so finally i had to sh*t or get off the pot and just pick it up. Do you by chance daily Drive yours and drive yours often because my friend that lives out by you said he sees one like yours at his kids school every so often and its the same NFG color lol.

Since you bought it used, maybe someone had the front bumper off for repair. Used car dealers do this all the time to fix gouges from parking and such.
I’d probably try to fix it myself, but it could be worth seeing what the dealer says. I had the carbon hood insert replaced under warranty for cosmetic defects, but I bought the car new and sent pictures to my sales manager as soon as I got the car home (45 minutes after signing the papers). If I’d bought it used, I feel like this would have been an uphill battle. As the car was brand new, it was either a GM defect or damage caused by the dealership. Either way, they were obligated to make it right. |

Mine has that too. It’s noticeable from certain angles. There were no other ZL1s around for me to compare.
BTW, I purchased my car brand new with 3 miles on it, so this is definitely a defect from GM. |
