Just picked up my 08 GT. The front bumper seems to have 2 small creases were the bumper starts to bend. They are uniformed on both sides. Has anyone else noticed this on there bumpers? Should i take it back to be looked at?

I have the same creases...I've seen it other Stangs also...it must be caused by some metal behind it...you will find all kinds of small defects on the car believe me.
Remember, it's not a Lexus.

Not sure what you're talking about...I'd have to look at my car, but I'm gonna GUESS it's for front license plate fitment.

That's normal. I saw a Japanese car the other day, and it was a lot more distinct on the rear bumper. On our cars, it's very mild in comparison. It does help maintain the sharp lines of the car a bit.
