Backup Sensors Distort Bumber Shape!!

The 300 is not the only car I notice this on. I see it on ALL cars.

Am I the only one who is annoyed by this?

I don't think I've ever noticed, can you elaborate?
Or post a pic?

I think he might be talking about the apparent 'dimples' around the holes they cut/mold for the sensors. It is a very slight 'distortion' (imo).

It's pretty obvious to me if you look at it with reflection or glare. You can see how the bumper raises up a little at each sensor. It's probably more noticeable in black.

I've noticed it on mine, but the orange peel helps hide it.

I just went to look, all angles, sun/shade.... there is an ever-so-slight ripple below one cutout, the rest are completely flat.
The ripple I noticed would definitely be more noticeable on black. Maybe you should bring it to the Dealer's attention next visit.

I've noticed the ripples on cadillacs and others. I think it's just the nature of having black an making holes in bumpers.
