See how the updated design has metal at the front and is not all plastic?

what do you guys mean by not completelly painted?!?!?!

The engine bay, from fender to fender and lights to firewall, looks like red primer. If I glaze it over with a nice coat of Jax Wax when I detail the engine it doesn't look as bad, but it's still crappy outta Ford.

So should I call Ford and tell'em to replace? Because i certainly don't have metal X-over pipe

Kilgore Trout · Mar 2, 2006

Its worth a shot, I plan to call tomorrow myself...

Okay, not to stray off topic but I noticed on the 2 red pics that you guys appear to have the same problem as mine...

Why couldn't Ford finish painting the engine bay?

Wanna hear some *****? I have the 04 Crimson red, and the engine bay paint is not even the same red that the car is. I know it's not clear, but even cleared it wouldn't be the same red. Talk about half ass. They probably started to paint my car and realized this was the special red for one year and they didn't change the engine bay

no joke i have alot of friends with 5.0's and man that is clean!

fox1x · Mar 3, 2006

O.K, so I called for the last time today. Got the same lady, Mrs. Rude Son-of-a-&^%$#, asked her to speak with a person who currently has a pulse, can read at a 10th grade level, and is employed by their dealership. Made it very clear that if I get a voicemail one more time, she would be flooded with many many many calls.

She obviously sent me to the "tool department" because that is who picked up the line, a tool. He claims they put this sticker on all of their vehicles so that the consumer is aware that the new vehicles have a warranty. This Ford dealership is truly a fine example that the gene pool needs some chlorine....

Mike97gt · Mar 3, 2006

fox1x. this will be my third time trying to tell you what that sticker is.

It is put there so you will see "HIGH TECH COMPUTER" and go OMFG i can't fix this. i better get my some lube and easy access pants and go back to them to get it fixed.

so NO you do not have a chip.

BTW this must be the most highjacked thread of all time.

Quoted for truth.

fox1x · Mar 3, 2006

svttech76, I should have listened, I agree. But, I had to get my way with the dealer. They must have the worst customer service of any dealership on this planet..

Hijacked, definitly....

yeah that dealer sucks. i already called and left a message for the service manager saying i was bill ford. i left a random ford phone number as my number. then i asked if a bunch of empty car haulers have showed up yet. any sane person would have hung up on me.

( when a dealer is closed by ford they send car haulers to pick up the inventory. if you work at a dealer and see lots of empty car haulers unlock your toolbox wheels and go get another job)

I went in looking at the 2005's and asked the chick who was trying to sell it to me if I could order one with the engine bay fully painted, she said NO. I said I am going to be paying like $30,000 for a new car, and it is incomplete? She acted like I p'd in her cool-aid, she wasn't too nice after that.

I dunno why, my 1993 SHO is the same way. It is like they put the hood on and gave it a couple swipes, and the overspray that flew into the bay was what painted the bay.

Geez man, get rid of the white grease pen line on your airbox already!

Kilgore Trout · Mar 3, 2006

I plan to, that grease pen mark on my airbox has been really bugging me

sgarlic · Mar 3, 2006

The blue writing on the front of my front cover is bugging me now that I see it. *going out to wipe it off now.*

Ya mine too. I would like to just take the cover off(and Valve cover and intake for that matter) and paint it

01GTSTANGER · Mar 3, 2006

Alright so how the heck can I find out if my intake is a faulty one or not? My car was built April 2001 if this helps..What can I look for? Thanks

Kilgore Trout · Mar 3, 2006

Then it is covered until April 2008. There is a sticky on this in tech....
