I opened up the console area around there and found a pristine, never soiled or used 3" long screw just sitting under the shift boot. I guess someone just left it in there when they assembled the car.

That car eventually got traded in on an Acura Integra which never gave me a lick of trouble and would probably still be running like a champ if my Dad didn't total it.
haha yeah paint and windows were bad points. 2/3 of my daytonas were repainted before i aquired them. and the third i scooped up for parts so i really didnt care about the paint. (soo straight though. wish i hadnt left it in texas) funny enough, the nsx's window track design is also crap
