    Hmmmm, wonder if somebody swapped them out, or if the motor's been replaced.

    '04s had unpainted valve covers. You may want to PM RoyLPita with your VIN to get service history on the car.

    And that was a good thing! But that picture of the white with the red stripes reminds me of the mid 80's mustang GT-350 reproduction

    I can confirm '03 300B, that heated seats were not a given. I'm the original owner and no heated seats. My build date is 3/31/03 in case we're able to narrow into a "change over" at some point.
    If only this MM puppy had a 5 speed!

    My 2003 MM has the original black cam covers...it was the 54th MM made.

    This guide has been very helpful to a me in identifying my car. I had always assumed (for the two weeks that I've owned at least) that with a manufacture date in June 2003, my car was a 300B. However, it looks like it is unequivocally a 300A.

    Actually, if your car is a 2003, you have a 300B. Early November 2002 was the change in the production line, with some items deleted, such as remote gas door opener, etc., which was signified by the change from 300A to 300B.

    I would bet you got a replacement '03 engine in your '04 by the PO.
