ANd Pgxp your dealer was blowing smoke at you. When I mentioned it to my dealer he said the problem is noted, and frequent enough for GM to adopt a policy of taking whole panel off and using new tape. They dont seem competent to me . It took them 2 hours just to do oil/filter swap, and temporary fix to trim piece. And the fix looks like hell.

I just cant stomach Goober and Gomer Goodwrench tearing those panels back off the car. The tops of panels are really thin and the mechanics at the "small town dealership" dont seem competent to me . It took them 2 hours just to do oil/filter swap, and temporary fix to trim piece. And the fix looks like H***.

I was at the body shop (helping with nitrous) and gave him the OK for the paint job.
(gm4life dont panic!!), It'* still gonna be Cranberry, bro. I'm having a pearlescent flake called "Red ice" mixed with clear put on the Cranberry Metallic followed by a couple more clear for depth.He'* going to pull back the loose panels and put back on with adhesive instead tape and tug at the rest to make sure any more arent coming loose.
Any opinions as to whether My original warranty will be voided (non engine wise) because of engine mods? I'm gonna call the dealership Monday and sort it out
