Default The production cars won't look like this, right?

Obviously, this is a picture of the rear hatch on one of the CTF cars but do you think this will be corrected on the actual production cars? I would imagine it would be but just thought I would share the picture to hear your thoughts.

Not to worry ... They probably had a little accident with the car, and had it repainted at either Earl Scheib or Maaco.

Don't worry ... Nobody really ever sees that part of the car anyway.

Oh my no. For example, if your ordered Laguna Blue Tintcoat or Lime Rock Green, your paint overspray, drips and runs will be in those colors not yellow
