welcome, you said the chip is on the inside corner so not visible from the outside? if its a tiny chip i wouldnt worry about it either way. you will eventually get more if you drive on the highway anyway. ive used the touchup paint with great success on the chips i have and i never notice them anymore.

They assured me they would take it to the body shop and take care of it the right way instead of using touch up paint. Should this be even a concern since it's brand new with factory paint?

congrats on getting the IPL bro and nice deal getting it at that price. But if there were 3 IPL's, why didn't you get the one without the small paint chip??

Nice, theres a big group of us located in MN and are looking to head to Wekfest in Chicago on the 20th of August. It's pretty much like HIN was a few years back. You should consider applying for it and making the trip. We are meeting with another G owner in Chicago and are hoping to get more ppl on board!

Didnt know if it would look weird with just 20mm spacers if indeed the IPL is a little lower stance?

What I've read on this forum is that the G's with the sport suspension sit a bit higher then the non-sport G's.
