Angry Layer of Plastic Peeling?

I noticed today on my rear lower bumper valance ( which is black plastic, that conforms around the tailpies and spans the whole lower rear and terminates at my mudflaps) I have in some areas the top layer of plastic peeling off in spots and can see the edges where the peeling stops. The layer underneath is also black so it is not screaming at you, but in normal daylight you can see it and it definitely bothers me.

I would imagine, and hope that Porsche sees this as a manufacturing/materials defect and will cover the replacement of this plastic bumper valance.

Anyone else have this happen?

Dealer says that it is a defect in materials, has never seen it before, and they will cover new part $340.00 plus install - one hour, for free-ninety nine!

I could have probably lived with it, but then again why should I have to.

I am getting a loaner that day because I am also having brake lines flushed, 40K service done early, spark plugs replaced, coils pulled and checked, oil and filter change, smoked tail lights installed, and a thicker heated leather steering wheel put on to replace my stock one.

I should put in a request for what kind of loaner I get shouldn't I? I will bring in the truck on the 21st so I am going to call tomorrow and see what they have available ahead of time. And believe me I WILL punish the car!
