I noticed the same thing only having lived with it for 24hrs so far. Might look at putting matte PPF on it to knock down the glare.

Suede is an option too since uve already added a bunch to the typical silver trim spots.

Lots of autocrossing/road miles with neg camber and sticky tires I'd bet. Spherical rod ends on some of the front suspension may not have helped.
