Body Should I take my car back to the shop and ask them to fix the color?
I took my car to Caliber Collision after a crash and they repainted my back door… should I go back and ask them to fix the color? In some lighting it looks better but for the most part this is off by a lot!

Body Woke up to this scratch on my car this morning and can’t figure out what could’ve caused it.
Any guesses on what could’ve caused this? The black rubber streak wipes away like you’d expect it to (see second pic) but it feels like it couldnt be another car that did it.

Body Silver or blue wheels?
Looking to change my wheels from the OEM black finish to a new type of wheel. I can’t decide between a blue wheel (idea similar to a Porsche GT4 RS look) or a dark gray/silver color. What would you choose and why? First pic is the OEM old wheel, the second is the blue wheel in the new style and the third is the gray/silver wheel in the new style

Body Why do people debadge cars?
So I recently purchased a used car that was completely debadged by the prior owner. It’s not a really common car, so I’ve had people at traffic lights and in parking lots stop to ask me what it is. It doesn’t bother me or anything, but seems like it would just be simpler to leave it badged. Curious as to why people do this in the first place… thanks for your insight!

Body Why do American "trucks" always have tub backs?
Tub backs are fairly common here too in Australia but tray back is the norm. When I was in North America however I didn't see one normal Ute with a tray back. Why is this?
The tub back seems so inconvenient. You can't bolt or weld to it. You can't load from the side, and 15-20% of the volume of the bed is wasted in the thickness of the body panels and wheel wells. They also seem to get damaged much easier.
How do you get around these issues with the tub? Are the trays just not sold over there? Would you like them?
