So I'm not the only one who thinks that the original quality of the paint wasn't all that good. After 76,000 miles I just paid a guy $2100 to repaint the front end of my 02 MCS which not only had thousands of paint chips, but a few of them were starting to rust in earnest. The Autobahn clear guard system wasn't even available when I got my car 4 years ago, and by the time it was it was too damaged to add it. You can bet it's on now..................
