The lower rear valence panel on '05s--anybody know if it's painted or just plain plastic?
I'd thought it was a solid, non-painted, color-impregnated piece of plastic. But when I was washing the car this weekend I accidentally gouged it with a fingernail, making me think it's painted.
I was inserting a cloth into the cut-out over the chrome exhaust tip to polish the tip, but a fingernail caught the valence and left a short little gouge. Dang. I showed it to my wife, who hardly could find it and rolled her eyes at me. She's right--it's not bad at all. But I'll surely be careful in the future!
