Aluminum hoods- umm, its still a issue guys
https://themustangsource.com/f739/bu...3/#post6766138
the black 2014 hood at the international auto show still has the issue- even visible with hood closed, but just barely.
I saw another thread was closed with comments the issue was fixed years ago/clean under your hood, etc... sorry to disagree but that is absolutely wrong. my 4 mile 09 (never been on the road still) had it the day it was flatbedded home, the brand new 2014s at the show still have issues...sorry, but this IS absolutely - positively still a process problem for Ford.
wether folks like the 2015 or not, please dont give Ford a pass on this issue. Look at the pics, it is a real problem, no matter how great the car is, Ford can do better- we NEED to hold their feet to the fire on this and make certain they do at least as good as these great cars deserve.
Look at the pics in the link up top (nah, I'll paste one here in case anyones afraid to look) - ford STILL has issues with painting/prepping aluminum panel hems. I love my 2006, 2007,2009 mustangs, but I'm not gonna put my head in the sand and say I'm happy with the build quality of the hoods- it is subpar, but the benefits outweighed the hood defects enough I bought a 'spare' mustang to squirrel away identical to the 06 I love so much- screwed up hood and all.
