Nes - QC - issues to look for

[Grabber]

Just thought I put this out, having had order (2) Raptors that came in with QC issues and my experience with trying to find one without issues, I came across (2) things on my new RR that I have never notice before. Went to mount my rear license plate and discovered the factory holes were not level, which made my license plate crooked. I managed to drill out the holes in the license plate to give me the ability to level it. Also, my passenger front lower bumper(gray steel part) paint is stained. It looks like either a chemical was splashed on it or something happened in the painting process. I thought it was just tire dressing spray when I picked it up, so that is what I get for assuming.

What were the issues with the other 2 Raptors?

First one (2024) had 2 large, paint fish eyes (hood, rear quarter panel). Paint chip above driver's side tail light (common issue caused buy tail light), paint chip on point of passenger fender at grill. The passenger seat cover also had a weird mark on it.

Second one (2025) - rear hood edge in the area of the wiper arm paint was scratched off to the metal for about 4", above driver's side tail light on driver's side paint chip, just like my '24 order. Mine was also on a "built - quality hold" for nearly 8 months with no explanation and looked like it sat in a dirt parking lot when it arrived at the dealer.

I had to look at a least 10 of them over my time looking for one. All of them had some type of QC issue (paint issue or body panel alignment or shipping damage.
