Paint just doesnt seem to be as tough as it use to be.
aluminum is harder to paint than steel and back when, humans did the work so thickness was all over the map and "excessive". Now with computer control they can put EXACTLY the number of microns of paint down to "cover" and not a droplet more. All to save themselves the obscene wasted cost of an extra coat. The savings of which they pocket and who gives a damn if the paint comes off if you sneeze on the panel after 3yr of ownership.

Car out of the garage and all cleaned up. A better picture of the driver’s side grille air flow modification with Velossa Tech Big Mouth Ram Air Snorkel.

Seat material. Funny as I went from leather to katzkin leather with red suede inserts (see my avatar) and now STICK to the suede!! Love the look and feel. Plus not as hot when wearing shorts which I do most all summer.
I will only buy cloth seats living down south. Leather and 100 degress doesn't mix.

Took the car to the dealer for shifting issues that are in TSB 22-2139. It was pretty quick...under six hours and got the car back. We'll see what happens.

I used to think the same thing, but there are plenty of offerings for gen 2 engines.
I see 3 at Americanmuscle.com

And 2 are clearly the same thing re-labeled, with one missing the "5.0" badge.

sharpie red.. get a pack of the dual tip fine and ultra fine… take your time and it will turn out great… it maybe be a little darker than your seats. I did mine and it is hold up great.

Low milage so really not bad to begin with in regards to cleaning.

North Topsail, some of my old stomping grounds. One of the few beaches left in NC, that still looks like it did years ago.
