uneven" sheet metal"

what's the story behind the uneven sheet metal on every 996 door that I've looked down the side of. I try and overlook it because it's my dream car but I'm thinking that someone knows what's up with that.

look out your rear mirror when the car is clean and you will see the protruding places where the body was stamped-- very poor
cost-cutting, even mercedes does better than that

I talked to the owner of the body shop who does the work for the local Porsche dealer, and he said the same thing. I do not have a trained eye so it does not look so bad to me. Jeff
