That's gotta be in the top 5 list of all-time BS answers given by a stealership.

"Accents" to "enhance" the appearance, eh? Yeah...I guess it's all in how you look at, but it sure looks like black overspray to me.

More and more we're all being told that our valid concerns are not concerns at all...the issues are considered "normal". However, explaining this particular concern as an "enhancement"?? Yeah, that's a new one!

Oh, I hear ya but after looking at three other sets of wheels (2 on new units and one set on a daily driver), I'm okay with the explanation.

And it's never Ford's fault.
