Mine were only noticeable between the doors and hatch, I had two adjacent areas on either side.
I also asked the parts manager about what changes I can make without worrying about voiding the warranty. He said, and every dealer is different, that as long as I didn't reprogram the CPU or make "major" mechanical enhancements I should be good. I told him the biggest thing I was considering was the Stivo resonator and muffler kit, he recommended to me to change it neatly enough that I could replace with my stock muffler and resonator if it came back in for related warranty work.
He was telling me about a customer that purchased a base Lancer and added a turbo expecting the warranty to still be in effect on the drivetrain and was denied, for obvious reasons.
arthurdents- You are correct in assuming the dealer did not prep the car. My dealer wheeled/waxed my car today per my request after I pointed the marks out to them and poof they are gone.
I'm happy and shouldn't be back to the dealer for anything in at least 6 months, longer if I don't continue having them do the oil changes.
