Regarding the firewall markings, it appears that they were ignored. The markings read: "Change top to White". And there is a big "R-1" (Flame Red with White top) marked as well. The trim tag shows Paint Code R-2 (Flame Red with black top). But we're sure the vinyl top we peeled off was original and it was Black. So much for the apparent attempt at last minute change on the line!
And, so much for assuming that these cars came off the line as their Trim Tags report!
