Ceramic coat will 100% not do anything useful in this scenario. It would have scratched with the coating and it will be able to get scratched again after it
That looks like it got scratched while it was being washed. It never hurts to ask for warranty coverage, but I wouldn’t think that would be covered. I’d love to be wrong.
I babied mine for the first 1000 miles. Then I had the oil changed and finally opened it up. Now I change the oil every 6k miles with full synthetic and have the tires rotated. It’s a brand new car, you’re going to have it a hell of a lot longer than 1000 miles. If nothing else it’s a great...

It’s so odd that they just went with the crappy plastic plate of the base model. A simple metal plate with plastic surround would have been in line with the majority of decent cars.
Seems fine enough. I’d probably aim it lower so I’d have line of sight on the bumper. It does make you wonder why ford didn’t set the backup camera to be full screen.
If you call the parts office of your ford dealer, tell them your vin and what you have here, they’ll be able to tell you the exact part number for those nuts.
