Stuff like this happen all the time. Most of it is caught at the prep center. But if you took delivery and saw it, then likely it was damaged after the prep center inspection.

Thanks for the insight, yeah I definitely need the rocker fixed. I'm torn on the front bumper, they said they could fix it without repainting the whole bumper, so I'm not sure what to do...
