03 and already fading paint! I'm pretty sure the 5 year bumper to bumper (not sure if it's 3 or 5 or 10) warranty takes care of that. I would take it to a dealer asap and have them work on it! Some people around here got their brembo repainted under warranty because the paint was peeling. I'm sure they'll take care of your car's paint. damn... that's crazy.. already fading!

its only hard to see in pictures, the roof is the most noticeable, but u'll have to be standing next to the car . My last warranty job was the carbon fiber wing, it turned yellow and they were pretty cool about it everything went smooth, im hoping they'll help me out on this one.
