You know what Montego, I think you're right. I'm kind of searching for that sports car that I want to purchase and keep for a long time. I want it to look nice and run well for years to come. I probably should look at something else that's going to take me down the road (no pun intended) a little further without headaches. Thanks everyone!

It seems that the rear deck lids were painted in another booth or even outside or something. My first fd had good paint except the lid. It started fading into a different shade of red thatn the rest of the car. A couple of others seem to have the same effect.


Well, save up for your custom paint job.

my silver touring still looks good with 63000 miles, except for chips like everyone else is saying.
