It would be nice if some of these savings might make their way down to the consumer......but I ain't holding my breath!

It'd really be nice if they clearcoated the rest of the body bits. Try cleaning under the hood and you're likely to remove paint. Sad really.

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..................
