Love the progression over a short period of time. All are nice rides!Of course, I'm partial to the MKS. Would kill for the painted rockers and fascia. Mine look OK'ish until it rains and the 303 streaks. No way to color match my car. Maybe I need to consider painting them gloss black.Thanks so much. If you're planning to paint gloss black, from how I understand it, the body shop will have to sand prep and prime your rockers and fascias the same way as if they were to spray the vehicle body color. Did that bully you into painting them body color instead of black?? Lol - I am thinking about having mine painted Bronze Fire. We will see what the future holds.I would paint them body color if they could get a match. Just really doubtful they could since the car doesn't match from the factory. My bumpers and plastic trim pieces are already a different color than the metal parts. Wouldn't want to add a third color to the mix. LOLThere's another Crystal Champagne Metallic Tri-Coat MKS in my same small town. Looks just like mine. Ford/Lincoln should probably stick to more basic or dark colors if they are this bad at paint matching.Maybe I will just plasti-dip them black. That's what I did with the center of my trunk lid since it was a horrible mis-match from the factory.
