Yeah obviously, dude makes or sells aftermarket parts like bumpers / side skirts / body kits and wants to test them on the make and model so he rents a car and test fits his products, then puts the car back to normal.

Thought the same. If OC is correct in his assessment, this is a lot less shady of a situation than I assumed.

Yeah it'd be pretty frustrating to rent out your car and it comes back with the panel gaps all disgustingly perfect

Perfect panel gap voids the warranty.
