Already have and still there.

Is it possibly how the metallic flowed out that you're seeing?

I have also little dents on the body just above the front of the portal windows. Both driver and passenger side have them, but the passenger side is a bit more noticeable. It looks like the tack weld was over cooked, I will try and post pictures tonight.

Those that voted that you dont have them, I went to a body shop to have it checked out. They noticed it as well and assured me that it was not a ding. More like where they put a brace in the door and welded it in place causing the ripple effect.

It is not noticeable all the time. But in certain light the ripples are horrendous.

BTW, it is on the driver side to but a LOT less noticeable. Body guy pointed it out out to me. Note that this guy is the OWNER of a body shop that works on nothing but high end cars like Porches.

Maybe not all cars have them. Or maybe you just have not hit it in the right light. But since the last post here I have seen three more FR-S and they have them as well.

If not all cars have them and some do it MAY be an isolated event. BUT, I feel that a new car should not have this problem with paint right off the bat regardless if it is a new model.
