Is this worth complaining about?

[Fair Verona]

So I just got my car wrapped and when checking out the new look, I noticed my left rear light is sticking out way more than the right side, which is flush with the other panels and trunk. I only got my car on August 30 and it’s been in the shop getting work so haven’t had a good chance to check it out until now and I didn’t notice when I took delivery.

Is this something I should bother raising with the SC or just accept it? Could they even do anything about it?

I’ve attached pics of both sides for comparison.

I would bring it up, don’t be surprised if they tell you it’s within specs though.

Exactly the same as mine. I am going to service next week along with other issues as well.

Looks really good to me. They may be able to make some adjustments, they have some ways of leveling such things.

Let me know how it goes and if they were able to fix it.

I would complain. Obviously you care about the look of the car or you wouldn't be getting a wrap.

On my car the front bumper was misaligned about 3mm on the right side. So it sticks out bit. It's like just hanging out a bit. It's going in this week to get fixed so it should be interesting to see what it looks like after.

Part of me wants to just leave it since no one else notices it unless I point it out, and they might do more damage fixing it.

Off top, but did you post pictures of the wrap in any other threads? I have red and was wondering about a setup like your including pricing details. It looks better then I expect, nice!

Noticed this too the other day. Questioning whether to bring this up.

Your bumper cover isn't clipped on quite right on the right side and is sticking out a bit at the corner. I might try to get it fixed, but it's really nothing.

Hmm didn’t even notice that. Looks minor but will also mention if I end up bringing it in.

Thanks! Will post a show and tell at some point when I get decent pics. This is a full 3M vinyl wrap. Took ages to decide the exact finish but I’m so happy with my choice and I can’t stop looking at it!

I actually got the black with the intention of getting a wrap but you could prob get a clear ppf with a satin finish for a similar look although I understand ppf to be a lot more expensive than a vinyl wrap which shops are quoting around $2500 for here in Los Angeles.

Mine is like this too. It's a VERY common issue and hard to notice unless pointed out. I'll be curious as well if anyone took it in to get it resolved.

Recently my car tail lights has been replaced. Main issues was the assy on the trunk lid moved back(Clips not holding well). The way it is installed, not really good. It has just one bolt holding from inside of trunk lid. Edges are press fit clips. Service writer showed me how it is clipped. There may be very little then can do. In my case when they changed the light assy on both Trunk lid and the body, they are not aligned anymore. The one on the Trunk lid is fitted without any gap, but one on the body is little bit out matching with other side.(about1/8").

I would not go just for that and expect them to fix it. But if you giving for other problems you might want to tell them. I would not hold my breath over it though. They could probably add some rubber pad in between light assy and body to move it couple of mm at most.

My passenger side look like yours in that the non-trunk taillight is recessed rather than flush at the bottom. My drivers side is fine.

I have this issue on one side as well. I have an appointment to take it in next week. Will report back.

Your not complaining first off. You are bringing an issue to their attention for correction if out of spec.

However having said you had your car already wrapped (full body?), I'd inquire to your detailer/service manager whether any adjustments at this point in that area would damage your wrap. Sometimes minor things (you didn't notice before) aren't worth the chance of more issues. And you did say your car has a black body under the red wrap.
