Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart. In just the right light it's hard to tell the difference between my Jeep (light champagne) and ratrace427's (sand beige).
Looking good, btw.

With the weather you have out there, your Jeep is always going to look EXACTLY the way the Jeeps in the movie did! Great work! I can't imagine how difficult it must be to tackle this kind of a project over there, I'm sure we take shipping rates from Quadratec for granted.
