Sounds like an improper PDI. Sound like a broken record but: Checkl for spring spacers, The air diverters, that your fluids are topped off, and Check that your body plugs are installed. (Little Oval Rubber Plugs that go into Areas underneath your car - this can become an annoying source of wind noise)
Ok, double checked and they are definitely not installed. Looks like i'll have to call the dealer tommorow. What color would the spring spacers be? I doubt they are still in as the ride height looks about right and it doesn't look like i'm in 4x4 mode or anything. As for the tubing, its a very light purple/clear tubing. I took a better look at it tonight, and it's solid, but bendable (i.e., not like the type of tube you'd use to make a beer bong). It's about 2-3 feet long, and pretty thin. Anymore ideas on this part?

Yes, absolutely, those are the "under-strakes". Just have a look they are indeed not on the car and that those aren't just "extras" by mistake. That blue-ish hose looks like a drain hose. It could be for the air conditioning system to take condensed water away from the in-dash airbox assembly. You'll know for sure next time you use the A/C in humid conditions and you get wet carpet in the passenger footwell. It could also be a drain tube for any one of several rain channels on the car. Get the dealer to attend to this as it will become a warranty issue in the future. You don't want to be messing with this. They'll say it was your fault if something goes wrong.
Or, it could be someone at the factory who accidentally left some of his wine making equipment in your trunk.

The problem with the hose is...it's not a hose. Hard to explain, but the ends are capped off. It's solid all the way through, so its not tubing in the traditional sense, it's just shaped that way. Its very flexible, but there is no way to pass anything through the center, unless you cut off the ends, and even then i'm not sure if that would do anything because it looks to be a solid piece, not hollow in the center. Thanks for all the help thus far though.
