Chip guard... rocker paint. I think it's been called other things too before bedliner paint.

Perhaps the body is constructed of AR500 armor plate, and he's worried about spall.

Looks like the 'minor' accident destroyed his paint, and instead of getting it repainted he just covered it in whatever that is. That's the cheapest I've ever seen a running FRS for sale.

My thoughts exactly. Kinda like buying a cheap body kit, being too broke and lazy to paint it so just spray painting the whole car flat black or plasti dipping it.

I've seen it a thousand times...

There is so much to love about this ad. The whatever the hell grip looking sand paper, the awful orange wheels, juxtaposed against the completely stock, boring, base FRS interior, ....to....freaking lambo doors....

...and then he ends it with "serious buyers only"!

On full size trucks it's said that full Line-X weighs about an average sized passenger (150 - 200 lbs). Small car like ours, 100 lbs is probably in the ballpark.

I can only assume this was his inspiration. Pretty cheap price though, could make it a track car.

Maybe he was concerned about magnetic mines?
