I'm having the hood vent and a stinger stripe from that and up the hood painted with chameleon color changing paint, (Green,Purple,Gold,Copper), with a "Jake" skull in the base coat!

You might consider a painted stinger stripe on your car.

What color is your C7?

I'd drive it straight back to the dealer to get it fixed. Hopefully they'll do a good job.

OUCH!! Looks like the vent was ill fitting when it was installed into the hood opening, but I can't believe it left Bowling Green like that? What's that scuff mark on the right in your picture?

ya I think one of the techs had dirty fingers and tried the old" rubbing" trick LOL.. that vette came from a small village outside Pensacola, at least my dealership is being cool, the manager told me he will treat it like it was his.. maybe I can get a stinger stripe to help if its not fixed properly.
