Default Small Paint Chips

I've had my Stang for a year now and I might change the spoiler soon. I'm considering a GT500 spoiler. One problem, I have two small paint chips under the stock spoiler. I know I didn't do these, they were there when we came home from the dealer. Trust me I noticed . You can't really see them when you're looking straight at the vehicle, you have to look from below the spoiler. My questions are: Will a GT500 spoiler cover these chips? I'm still under warranty, can I take it to the dealer and have them do something? Will touch up paint work?

Thanks for the help!

Is that an "I'm afraid not" for all three questions? Or just for the GT500 covering it?

For the Cobra covering...
You'll have to fight with the dealer to get them to repaint.
The touch-up attenuates a bit but it won't be perfect.

I can see them telling you that someone sat on the trunk and cause the chipping etc... To avoid the freebee.

Yeah I don't think the GT500 will cover it. I guess I'll be touch up painting if they don't do it for me [:@].

Yeah I thought it was something like that. So do these TSB's tell you what to do if you have that problem or...? How do I find them?

Sorry for so many questions [8D].
