The tail area on my 03 is ok, but had some minor issues at the bottom of my headlight rings. Looks like a place for standing water to sit, and is prone for paint chips there. I caught it early enough for it was small and just required a little light sanding, prime and painting.

Nice work on yours

I will be visiting a body shop. Drivers side on mine. Being black it don't show.. .

Here's what mine looked like before (driver's side).



It was pretty bad and once the sandblaster hit it, it went right through the metal (I call it Iron Oxide. )

The busted taillight was on it when we bought it on July 27. The dealership we bought it from promised us a new one would be shipped asap. We still don't have it.

If you look at the Post #65 in this thread, you can see it after the fix. Custom fabricating a piece of metal to fit in there is not an easy thing to do, trust me.
