ding ding ding! And the color molded bumpers were only on Dodges. You'll never see a Plymouth with the faded plastic bumpers, they were painted. Dodge didn't mold every color bumper in plastic in 00/01, but some of them and red was definitely one of them.

In all years, there is a clearcoat issue on Flame Red. My 00 had it and my 04 SRT body panels have it as well.

I think it's safe to say Dodge just sucks at red, lol.

The GF's Sundance has lost all the clear from the hood, and roof. But it took around 14 years to begin it's demise. The car is 18 years old.
