@Soundguy – Is the color off a bit on the drivers door?? It just looks like there is some mismatched paint in this car. Love the car though. ...

Thanks for your question, there is no mismatched paint on this car. When the vehicle was photographed there were poor lighting conditions, please refer to the walk around video.

@haddaca – Good morning, Am also curious about the difference in paint on the drivers door? I did not see the assembly tag on the firewall or cowl. Is the tag there? If so can you photograph it and put it as part of all the other pics. ...

Thanks for your question, the door you are asking about has no issues. The difference in color was bad lighting/reflection when photographed. Please reference the walk about video
