I30 Owners Look In Your Trunks Please!! I'm posting on a few forums in hopes of getting a response.

My recently purchased 2000 I30 appears to be in very good condition with very low mileage. Recently, I noticed something peculiar when looking in the trunk. Whenopening the trunk, next to each taillight, towards the trunk opening, is a hard plastic grooved section. Mine are two different colors. One is gray and one is black. My car is Silver. Does this seem strange that two different colored sections would be used when manufacturing a car? I'm wondering if an unreported accident may have occuredwith the previous owner. Possibly, the car was repaired using parts from a different colored Infiniti.

Could some of you I30 owners please look in your trunks and report back to me? I'd certainly appreciate it!!! I'm wondering what my options are with my local car dealer, if I was sold an automobile previously in an accident, that was unreported to me? Thanks a million!!!

Don't have an I30, but I know my inner trunk panels are body colored. One possibility, is that it was damaged somehow in transit from manufacturer to port to distibution point, or on the lot itself. Salesmen and customers have been known to wreck new cars on test drives. Most replacement body parts that I've seen are a standard flat black.
