Yaw people with Body kits i made a shcking discovery today..well i took off m rear interior trim pane to replace my rear speakers..and i been really lazy to put them back after the install. Plus the speakers looked cool naked....so for some reason went for a ride and decided to take short cut on a gravel road..tried opnening the window and a storm of dust filled the car....

At my parkin lot i sat in the car tryin to figure out where the dust was getin in..and after a long search, i looked through that space where the trim sits and right at the corners of the wheel well..i saw small holes..rust is beginning to eat at my baby. I thought i should share this..itis mighty sad.

Maybe you guys can check your cars and make sure they aint being eaten alive by that devil rust. and also that you may help me select a good rust problem solver.

My first guess was the window :confused:
 
Sorry about the unclearness..but see the body kit hides a lot of mess.. your car could be rustin underneath it and you wont even know...and about the window...i had them closed and they were holdin constant cabin pressure thus no aint comin in or leavin.and when i opened them that is when the pressure mismatch changed and allowed the dust to flood in.

I hope this is clear...basically be checkin your car condition under the bodykit.

Wish i had a Dcam..i would show you pictures
