Default Can you tell the difference?

Ah, yes-made the move in order to get away from the front license plate requirement.

^^^No that's not it. The valve on the left front tire is about an inch lower in the bottom picture.

No that's not it. The paint seems to have gotten about 2-3 shades darker.*

*Sorry, I'm an amateur photography nut and exposure in sun is one of the first things I notice.

Looks a lot better, whether that's the reason why you moved or not.

The first pic looks like it has some food stuck in its front teeth.

Looks like you went from Crystal Red to Long Beach Red and you moved the car to a different location.

Seriously, looks to me that you got rid of the silver retainer and the front license plate.

Bradley Chevy put that sticker on when I went in and got the oil changed and the belt tensioner replaced. I just haven't had a chance to remove it yet.

Long beach red changes colors according to the lighting. Its like having four different cars!

It looks warmer...and drier. The bright sun also makes it look shinier.

Colorado also requires front plate, no plans to add the front plate unless stopped / hassled. Its a disgrace on a c7.
