I'm debating on fixing it. I may get a WRAP instead. They last 5-7 years. I won't have this car for that long (it would have another 300,000k on it by then). We shall see.

The funny thing is there is another 98 5 spd EX 4dr for sale at a lot in a nearby city (for $2500 with 197k)... same color, SAME peeling clearcoat on the roof, hood, and trunk. Sad that Honda doesn't acknowledge there is a problem.

Here's the Link:

EDIT>>> and I'm thinking of picking it up because it's a 5spd.

Whats the problem? 13 year old car, almost 200k miles. Probably seen a lot of sun, road debris and owner probably didnt wax it enough. Id say theres no issue except normal wear and tear.
