Talking

Just wondering how many 2005 Mustang owners have obtained any cosmetic flaws in their cars yet such as: chips, scratches, scraps, dents or the ever so dreaded door dings??? I did my first clean yesterday and visulized its first noticeible scratch. It's not to bad but the first one is always the killer!

I noticed one little *tiny* ding in my quarter panel :angry: . Must have been from someones' car door. It's very miniscule but enough for when your extremely **** about your car to be a HUGE ding.

Well got a little paint peel on rear lower valance area. Looks as tho the area wasnt prepped well enough to hold the paint, will be having it repaired hopefully this week. I believe ford should take care of it, as it is evident it happened by itself no scraping etc.

Hadn't had my new Stang for a week and I got a rock ding below the passenger door. I was able to get the superficial scratches out with rubbing compound but the point of imact did get into the actual metal. Took it to a body shop and they could only paint over the ding.

Scraped the lower front bumper on a curb after six days. I've decided to wait awhile to have it repaired until I get the hang of inching up driveways and over speed bumps at an angle!

Where exactly is it?
I just found something on my rear valance also. It's on the side of the car right where the valance meets the body. It looks like someone went back after the fact and tried to ad paint to the edge where it had been scraped off or the paint didn't stick. It's the same way on both sides.
Also, the rear valance looks a little yellow compared to the rest of the car.
