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

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!

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