Maybe you could trade with Roverallover for a while.

I hear it really depends on your mechanical aptitude, but the panels should be able to be replaced in 45 minutes.

Maybe we could start a "rotate your panels" club.

I got red, waaa, I don't think anyone wants to trade with me.......

i saw something by the company that says a panel change is 90 minutes and can be done simply by the owner. bet the second time is much faster than the first!

I ordered a blue one, and I could stand having a white set. That was my original favorite. Not as sporty or "unique" but it just looks clean and classy. But, I've never had a blue car and always wanted blue, so there we go. I'm hoping to buy a white set someday and figure out how to change them myself.
