Yeah, but they are like 600 a side! That's about 25% the value of the truck. The patch panels are only 80 a side. I kept my truck fairly clean. The older guy I bought it off of took great care and then i drove it to college and it spent most the year in a parking garage out of the weather. The paint bubbled in about 7 years. Kinda crazy. I haven't seen many 3rd gens with this so far around here. Luck of the draw I guess. If the truck wasnt 11 years old and didnt book so low I would save and have it fixed at a shop, but if it turns out a 5 ft paint job I would okay with it. I just dont want it to keep spreading. I wont be able to afford another truck anytime soon. Damn student loans....

Someone above posted about a write up. That would be great if you find the link.
