That's actually a pretty scary thought. I know i've see quite a few electron blue cars and there is quite a difference between many of them. One reason I'm scared to death to put my tiger shark bumper fascia on is because I'm afraid they'll never match up the color correctly. And I'm not sure I'm ready to think about getting the entire car repainted.

Man, is there anything you can't do with these cars? As I said before, you seem pretty handy around these critters.
