Count your blessings on your perfect paint as it seems to be rare !!

Above the drivers door is about a 10 inch crack in the paint. Looks like a drywall crack in a older home is the best way to describe it, also not very shiny. They have a body shop at the dealership so they can repair it. But a car of this calibre should be Flawless!!!!!

seems to be the guy that tries to buff the paint. i think they try to remove the scratches and by not knowing what they are doing make an area the size of a football cloudy,dull,hazey. i have had 2 06 and 2 08 with no paint problems. i have now 2 09 and 2 10 all have paint problems.

....first thanks for the VIN # .....once my car arrives i am going to do an article for Viper magazine on the FE's..."with a little help from my (Viper) friends.."
Wow, you guys are scarring me.....My 05 had pretty good paint...only one tiny spot that had a "dust in the paint" problem..but again minor. Since my FE convertible has not yet left the factory( I checked today)....I hope it does not have a problem....

My paint on all three of my Vipers is Flawless 95, 06, 08. I was very disapointed in this ACR's paint. I am glad that I was not waiting for this Car to arrive. Very Disappointing on the Quality. Can not believe Inspection is not catching these cars before they leave the factory.

Sure, rub it in that you have 11 1/2 months of driving weather, while our cars way up north here become garage queens for half the year..Think I'm going to move south

What size snows ????
Use a soft 3/8" nylon rope for chains in an emergency. I know that back east you guys often get feet of snow and remember that one of the big cities actually closed the roads last winter (Pittsburg, Boston? can't remember) and -40C
I went to LA heading for Mexico a couple years ago and they had Ice storms in Texas, snow in Florida and they sprayed water to form ice on the crops (we saw Apricots) and protect them from more intense cold? Drove my ACR home through blizzards (End of April) in Nevada (see "When One Is Not Enough" in Domestic Driver - A bi-monthly online magazine featuring Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, and GM Cars from 1980+ Jul/Aug issue), Oregon and Wash. Thunderstorms in Seattle for a few days and then it did snow 1/2" the day after I got home a few hundred miles north of Vancouver.
Bought my 98 GTS in Illinois and managed to stay 12 hrs ahead of a 12" snowfall blizzard across the continent until Calgary where it snowed about an inch per day. No more snow coming home that year in Feb.
But, if you like overheated cars, temperatures that do manage to get up around 130F, Florida and Texas are great. Az was 88F while we were driving a 30F in the blizzard at Eli Nv. in April.

That may be the the nicest looking solid color Gen4 I've seen.
