While I was working on the car the other day I noticed that I was missing paint. Maybe my car was painted on laundry day or something. These are pics of the Fog Light Well and the top of the well. OH MY!

The front bumper is definitely a major screwup on 2010 GT500's. I bet none are right. If you think yours is, look closer.

There is no way every car is inspected. Maybe they inspect 1 out of every 10 or something? If some cars get out with a minor problem or two, I'd see where mistakes can be made. My car had 10+ issues and didn't even have fuel pressure when I bought it. My car was NOT inspected by anyone. I had fit/finish, mechanical, paint, and functional issues. My car even made it through PDI which proves PDI is a joke and not taken seriously, at least at Drew Ford in San Diego.

The sad part is it took me only 10 minutes to notice all this crap. $50k MSRP and 10 minutes couldn't be spared to inspect my car.

Aside from all my negativity towards the "inspection" process, Ford took care of me and I am happy now. Hopefully someone will lay down the hammer at AAI and fire anyone not pulling their weight.

My service manager told me the price of the car was not relevant to our discussion. Apparently, it doesn't matter if he is dealing in Yugos or Lincolns.

Definitely another quality issue. As an FYI, earlier this year I looked at 2 KRs at my local dealership. One was silver/blue stripes and the other was blue/silver stripes. On the front left fender about 4" from the top and about 6" from the wheel well opening, the blue/silver car had a spot where they missed painting it about as big around as a pencil eraser. And of course the factory clear coated over the primer at this spot. That's what you get with a $85,000 sticker price.

Here you go.

I did look at my fog light area. Yep this is a major weak spot for paint. I have paint and full coverage, but it is thin and has that orange peel look.

But as you can see I am one of the lucky ones as far as the fender bumper joint goes. And yes both sides are clean.
