Or can claim "factory mistake" & it's a 1 of xxx known to exist. Can always do a George Costanza "Was That Wrong ......." Last edited by PhillyRag; 06/16/21 01:59 AM.

If that did not give a quick fix to the hack job as far back as it is so ce they care not and is an au tion car wonder if a T/A duck bill woukd cover the holes if swapped for a quick fix. Since welding and whole repair repaint is needed to fix wing. That color is hard to match. I had my car damaged after a,whole painting of car. It was before leaving the body shop and just another day with same paint was off. Even after playing with it still off if ya knew where to look.

Is it the discoloration (yellow hues) around certain number of how some number/lettering really pops when you zoom in? I am very interested in how to detect fraudulent documentation. I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke! Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.
