What color is your car?

You should go to autopia and see if a "proffessional" car detailer could help you out. They might be able to do paint correction or something..

^ This.

They did a cheap half *** fix to get you in the car and the result is peeling paint. Fix it right or you'll be throwing away more money.

A part time job for 12 bucks an hour for 2 months will net you enough for a complete front end repaint my man

Thats why i said disreputable lol. Seriously this dealership was CRAP, happend to find a is250 there for real cheap and snagged it all cash quick deal no looking back. They arent gonna do anything for me, there is no waranty what so ever and i dont plan on driving an hour + to fight a pointless battle /:. Its LAME. I wanna find a quick cheap fixup but i cant seem to find one...
