WTT: Trade Red Metallic for White Body Panels

Ok, I want to swap again...LOL :P

I recently traded forum member bottlerocket his Red Metallic body panels for my Deep Black body panels, but now I am wishing I held out for my true color choice...WHITE. Anyways, as you may have guessed, I would love to trade someone my Red Metallic body panels for your White body panels.

This would be a great deal for anyone who is looking to purchase a metallic color, which is roughly $300 more than the non-metallic colors (if purchased from the dealer).

Because I have swapped panels once already, I do know how everything disassembles/reassembles...and would be willing to do the work for the both of us (at my house). It takes a fair amount of time (2 hours or so per car), so it would be best if we met up in the morning to get everything swapped over.

I am located in sunny Southern California (Mission Viejo)...so if you are interested in a local trade, let me know! Thanks. 8)

I'd do it again in a second if I had white!

Good luck!

The 2008 metallic red panels may have increased value next year if they are replaced with one of the run-of-the-mill reds that are so common. The 2009 red will not be metallic; it will be solid MIC, and could be as bland looking as Honda motorcycle plastic.

Thanks for that...maybe it will inspire someone to trade. ;)

I would also consider trading for Metallic Blue as well. I recently purchased some powdercoated stock wheels with a blue pinstripe around the perimeter, so the Metallic Blue would definitely compliment them. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks. 8)
