The Real P5 ?

[TCBronson]

Here, I fixed the bland looking front fender skirts myself! Don't look to close, it was a quick job.

Why do you think the fender skirts and rear wheel skirts are black, why not body color all the way around? Maybe as an option?

About a year ago making body colored skirts was supposed to be an option, bUT nothing has been said about it since.

YIKES! I sure hope no one gets a mind to steal them since they will be so easy to remove.

This is why I want to lock the engine hood. We have seen nothing on this. I suggested this as a question to Paul Elio. I hope it get asked.

If locking hood pins aren't standard, I will buy and install them myself.

I guess you idea makes sense if you don't live in an area that experiences frequent snow or freezing conditions.

A few drops of alcohol or a shot of lock de-icer. I would prefer an interior hood release but....
That would really only be an issue in the event of mechanical problems, for the (roughly) 10% (or less) of owners who would have any idea what the problem might be. Even those who could do a repair, on the side of the road, wouldn't have room for the tools needed. The best tools anyone of us can have with us is a cell phone and a AAA membership!

As one who spends a lot of time driving in areas that lack cell phone coverage, I would tend to disagree.

Not everyone has a cell phone booster?

A booster does no good if there is no signal to boost. I can depend on a signal about two miles from my house.

Did anybody notice,in the pictures, that the the engine hood does not cover the windshield wiper?
I thought that was going to be a change,from the P4 model. (maybe just a rush to show ready).
