Picked up the Long-Term GT from the Ford dealership after having the dead rear shock replaced and loose door panel trim repaired. The total bill came to $0, as there's a TSB on the loose door trim and the dead shock was replaced under warranty. Good thing it's not a F430, as Ferrari's 1 year/12,000-mile coverage wouldn't have applied (the GT has been in service for 2 years/10,500 miles and comes with 3/36 coverage).
But I did find another minor issue while washing the GT...
Curious that the tape would be there at all (never noticed it before), and also curious that it has only been applied to one side. That, or it was on both sides and rubbed off the passenger scoop. Not a huge issue either way, as the rub marks are in an area you can't see without lifting the engine cover. Probably won't do anything about them.

Scotch tape to the rescue!!!
I bet that will leave some nasty residue on the paint if you ever decide to peel it off. I hope the body panels are made of non-rusting materials if you don't plan on attending to the paint chips.

pay that much for a tape to cover build defects? is this 2007 or 1987?
