ya ok, if your gonna go to the dealership and complain, try to get some more people to post in this thread about how they have this problem so you can print out this page, take it to the dealer and complain about it not being your fault, and that everyone is having this problem, they will probably repaint it if they feel it is on most OZ's......thats what im doing.

I had the same problem with my Yellow Lancer OZ. I went to the dealer, and they have painted it twice so far. They are about to paint it again. Maybe they can get the paint to match this time or they are going to paint the whole thing. I am really pissed about their ignorance in paint matching.
