Rattles from loud SPT exhaust (factory installed) and Harmon-Kardon stereo. Not all rattles were fixed. I will be attempting to fix them myself at a later date (by adjusting clips and adding batting). Small paint chip on the body of the car where the trunk corner meets the body. Only noticed due to forums. There was a TSB for this but my VIN is not included. Pictures submitted to SOA. Awaiting response.
Door pillar exterior has a black tape trim on it. My car's black trim tape came with a slice in it from the factory. It was repaired under warranty in less than 2 hours.

Rear package shelf was rattling. Dealer replaced under warranty per an existing TSB. Driver seat squeaked when weight transferred rearward. Dealer lubed seat hinge points.
