B Co 2/504 PIR 03-06. Were you in?

The black coating does not need to be removed. The E coat is the best possible corrosion coating. This is a problem of the dealership has no idea what they are doing on this.

Something like that will require taking the bumper off more than likely to get to the backside properly.

I would say that is likely repairable. The rocker moulding might be smashed too much though. It is too hard to tell in the picture. The fender seems pretty minor even for it being aluminum. The paint split on the fender edge where the crease is. If that is truly the only paint damage and no...

Mine crackles pretty good in normal mode in loud exhaust mode. I notice once it is coming down off higher RPM, I would say at least 4 k. Also being in 2nd gear I have pretty solid results. The biggest thing is I need to have very slight pressure on the gas pedal. Too little or too light and it...

I just started mine yesterday and the service guy said all I need to do is let them know if it goes through a quart in 500 miles. They said I didn’t even need to bring the car back in for them to check it before they would submit a claim. Have you guys had a similar experience or did you have to...

Likely will need to remove the bumper to get to the backside.

I wouldn’t spend 3000$ plus for PPF work but that is only because I work in a collision shop and I have the ability to do most of the work if something needed repainted . I have been having pretty good luck buying the kits for the fenders and front bumper. I have been pretty happy with the...

I have pulled many a bumper off and some of them fit tight and need some careful love. Some pull out of the tabs not so bad and others you need to carefully poke and prod and get a flashlight to locate the release tabs. I use a small flat blade pocket screwdriver a lot for that work. Matco and...

This is what 3M pro looks like over the normal stripes. It was one piece I put on, I didn’t bother with a kit that had stripe cutouts. Also my hood doesn’t have anything on it yet. I could maybe work the film a tad bit more on the stripe edge but it is very close.

I decided to buy a front bumper kit for the Shelby and just put it on this weekend. It was quite the challenge but I am pretty happy with the results. I know it needs to dry out for a while to hopefully eliminate some of the bubble areas. For those of you that had a professional do your film...

It isn’t that simple, In an extremely rare case you might luck out with a paint chip. The paint chip is a starting point and almost always needs worked with to get a good color match. We deal with this stuff every day.

I notice a similar sound coming from the right quarter glass area. I keep forgetting to tell my wife to drive it around as I sit in the back seat to hunt it down. It does get annoying hearing it at times.

Definitely get it blended out. What had to get repainted on the hood? Did the entire thing get repaired or sanded on? There is no reason to have re sprayed the whole hood white again if only a small area needed fixed. If the hood has fresh white paint near the fenders then it is pretty standard...

Yes, of course the whole panel needs painted. It is the clear coat they are referring to, not the color. It is only getting enough color sprayed on to cover the primer area and blended out then clear coat over the whole thing.

That is definitely some bad jamb paint work somebody did, that is not factory. Can you take a better picture of your striker above your VIN sticker? One picture you have shows just the bottom of it and you can tell it has been moved. You should lift up on your weather strip right by the...

The dealer replaced mine out today. It is unfortunate that they can’t even service my vehicle without scratching the top of my fender. I assume this was done from jumper cables since it needed jumped to get into the shop from sitting over night. This is right in the path of the battery. It could...

I just was at the dealer twice within the last week because of the battery failing and finally got them to replace under warranty. I think they said all Ford would put in was a 470cca. It was to the point where any starting would require a jump start. The car is an 18 with 3200 miles. I had a...

Ahhhh, nooooo, don’t drill any holes for PDR work. If there is no access and the spot can’t be glue pulled, just get it fixed the normal route.

I highly doubt it is double walled. I work in a collision shop and have pulled tons of fenders off. I haven’t had one of these off but they are aluminum and that is harder to work out. Did he not want to take the fender line out? He should have plenty of access with that out. He might not have...
