Why are the shock towers different than most others I've seen? Has this car been rear ended? Try image 5. |

Here is a working link:

does yours not have the rubber nipple covers? It does look like seam sealer is gone though.

Looks like the witches hats are not fitted quite right (maybe) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Was looking at this cat today. Perhaps nothing is wrong, but welding/forming of steel was different (way smoother) than anything else I had seen. What could be the reason for this?

The trunk was re-done. It would originally have been body color, this is black. So chances are the seam sealer was removed as part of the stripping process, and it was either re-applied with a very smooth finish, or not re-applied at all.
