I think it's been dinged with 'something', only really notice it when I'm washing the car and put pressure on it. I know how to look for tape lines but, no, I'm not a body shop guy.

Thanks, I'm researching camber plates now, what did you run with stock suspension? I was looking at Vorshlag but it looks like they don't have a spring perch for stock applications.
