I can't really be to critical of rust as I've only had this car the last 17k miles of its 122k mile life.

I'm have a serious problem with the trunk. Water is sitting underneath the spare tire. Lots of rust. Just took out the rubber plus so water stays drained out, but now that means water can get in easier.

The C is maybe 160. Middle is 200-220. It's a joke of a guage. I thought it was broke the first 3 months I owned my car. Winter weather never got it warmed up before.

Well, I can get really thin aluminum. I liked moorecomps grill block. http://ecomodder.com/forum/member-mo...rill-block.jpg

Yeah, I saw COZX2s like that. Can't remember whos , saturn?, i saw that used aluminum. It looked nice though.

So you say outside wheel well ? I was thinking outside of well so there is no seam.

Yep, Errands, short trips. I'd be getting at least 35 if it were for all the run around trips.
