Rear Diffuser melted?

Move this if it in wrong section mods (sorry)

It seem part of my rear diffuser(the area around the exhaust) has been melted somewhat, and I'm thinking the stock exhaust caused it..Anyone else have this prob? Pic will be added..

I ran the Buschar and when I hit a bump it bounced into the palstic and melted a little-then I got the CF exhaust shield and it happed again
Your stocker could get hot enough (whatcha doin over there?!) to melt it....

I only got 1068 miles on the car and was doing regular city street driving, came home smelled a burning smell from the rear walla melted plastic.

Bumped and bounce into the plastic might be my case..damn city roads!

Could have been mis-aligned from the factory. Let the dealership handle it.
