    Nope that's the original black. The shadows are helping it. The only rust found so far is in the back under the trunk, behind the rear tires, and under the rear driver window/ bk glass. I an NOT a metal guy so I'm not sure if I'm gona learn or send it out.

    Ok my 3" blocks came in. Got them but had 2 questions. (1) do I need to tighten the nuts certain torque or just till my nuts drop. (2) the block has no camber following the arch of the leaf.
