ATTN: All 5th gen owners
sup, I need to know if all of you guys have something similar to this on your car, or if its just me. Also if you know anything about it post it
Its pointing to that weird looking area. I was told it's a weld. I'm thinking my cars been in an accident. First because the whole passenger side of the car has paint which doesn't look as good as the other side of the car, it has alittle more orange peel in it. Also, the rubber seals on the door handles have been painted on the passenger side. Then I notice this and actually take the time to think about what could have caused it. Now I've seen the carfax and its a clean record for my car so I'm alittle confused. I dont know if this is a factory weld from the manufactor or what. So if you have one on your car let me know cause then It's prolly something normal. Thanks!

that's weird, I have the weld there, but it's not all white like yours is. Oh well, I have other problems to deal with on my 5th gen like replacing the hood, radiator support, passenger front fender, bumper, headlight and intake housing.
