Huh, seems like a defect in these cars, excessive rear tire wear. Wonder when the General will issue a recall for this? I've had the same problem, should someone contact the NTSB?

I sprayed the darker primer gray, and it's too dark. Not as many shades off as the light was, but still too dark. Realizing that I'm not going be able to replicate the factory gray plus black overspray - I decided I'll dynamat that panel, to match the driver side. I ordered some dynomat, and it came... and it's black, with silver writing. My original dynomat in the car is silver with black writing...
Naturally I had to order more dynomat to re-dynomat the other side, you know, so it all matches...

Pulled up the passenger side coil cover and rerouted the wire harness under the coil cover. Much better. Popped the rest of the drivers side scoop grill out then superglued the loose broken piece back on. Good as new.
