I brought my new cuda panels home yesterday, they are white and compared them to a mint set of originals. These panels are very well done.
Mine are not dyed white they are molded in the color.
I can see a potential problem with the rears the way they are packaged. My box was alittle beat up.

You didn't buy the panels from us, but as we seem to be getting the business end of the complaints I guess I should comment.
Pro Fit placed an order with us, an asked that it be shipped to what was your address I am assuming. Later, we received an email from them requesting an exchange due to customer complaints.
We informed them that we were now out of stock on the white rear panels, and it would be a few months before we were expecting to have them restocked. They emailed us that there customer was very upset, and if there was anything else we could do right away.
We told Pro Fit they could have the customer use the panels until the new panels were in stock at which time we would send new panels, or they would have to issue a refund. We told them again that we didn't have any on hand, and we didn't have any of the white dyed gloss coating (not "paint" paint) at this time, so there was nothing we could do about the stray marks from the factory right then.
Of the hundreds of sets we have sent out since the new panels have made it in, we have only had one other set to have had issues with stray marks as your have. I don't think that's a bad track record. Unfortunately, those white rear panels you want were a bit too popular in this case.
The E-Body panels are colored throughout, and are not painted. There is a coating sprayed on them as the panels are pulled from the mold that evens the gloss (dulls in this case) of the panels. Most all molded plastic receive a similar coating. We can get this coating with the color used in the panels added to it. We just don't have any in white right now. We have now ordered some and are waiting on it to come in. You can use it to fix minor flaws like your unfortunate set seems to have had, or to color match your other interior panels to get a perfect match.

But why were the panels sent out originally... Isn't there a quality control visual inspection before shipping them???
Sometimes it's the guys packing them, had a customer special order custom made white vinyl 70 Charger SE panels at Legendary, the guy that packed them wrapped them in plastic that evendently had a blue pen stuck to it, guess what, banging around in the box, in the truck, the blue pen leaked all over the white panels,....Legendary did replace them at no charge, but were baffled at first how it happened,....sh!T happens when you least expect it

The important thing here is that Metro is trying to make it right. The original reseller is trying to make it right. I'm wondering if this is a case of Metro not believing what people were telling them. My understanding as the door panels by themselves were selling rather poorly and people, myself included, told them that people are waiting for a complete set. Specially those people with colored interior. And now Metro is sold out. Well that's a great problem to have
