Believe as u will, but its not the truth.

Someone put that on the car, prolly after it was wrecked horribly and the entire side of the car was replaced or something.

Its prolly hiding bondo or waves. Have you looked at it real good? Ran a Carfax?

well that's really good to know. But either way it was not a factory edition. Someone who owned it had those put on for personal reasons i guess.
