Default problems...

anyone having problems with the hood bubbling (oxidization from the aluminum hood) let me know? also anyone have color issues between the body and the front and rear fascia? my car is white and the color match is horrendous.. has ford done anything about these issues?

No bubbles....front matches but the rear is just a slight shade off. Can't really notice unless you stare at it for a while.

my rear bumper is a little off as well... Ive been told it is just the difference in techniques between painting metal (body) and polyurethane (bumpers)...

My hood oxidized and bubbled so I got it repainted completley by my dealership a couple days ago. Looks Great! They also asked me if i have had the car since new because they said the hood had been painted before..which i dont understand since i have had it since day one... possibly it is from previous body work and they had to match the front bumper up with the hood?
