Ok good, I'm glad you found it. I bought mine off of Amazon, if that helps also. Hopefully this can help what happened.

Yeah thanks for the suggestion my daughter found it at one of our local Wal-Marts at that price I can't see why not trying it
Got to love when the kid's come over free tech support

I don't want to get off topic but one year my son got me a FISHING video game not the same as real I know but it is really in depth it comes with a small pole to control it with
And honestly it has stepped up my real fishing game

If the clear is doing what I think it is it's too late. It starts to lift off the color and it can't be fixed.

That section can be sprayed but it will have to be blended in to get it to match at all. The body shop would likely spray the rear bumper and entire top section of the deck including the deck lid then fade it down the sides up to the doors to trick the eye.

Yeah the body shop is my absolute last resort as I said I went to 3 different ones in town and ALL 3 was on a different page one even tried to tell me that the fading was an early sign that my body was about to crack in half and the only option was to replace the whole back-end
So yeah it looks like I'm doing this on my own but thanks to you guy's I got options I never thought about

Besides a co worker of mine came over this Easter and told me he took his maserati in to get his seat replaced and had it fly by him going 100 down the 99 an hour latter
