    Very nice looking F3 Ray. I like the knight Rider light very cool. Hope they get the front panel changed out for you that would bother me too. Don't see how they missed it either. Ride safe.

    Maybe some might think you are being too picky about the color mismatch, but I am 100% with you, and JP58 too. I had a similar experience and the slight mismatch bugged me too. Well done video, by the way.

    I would have loved to let it go and just live with the difference in colour. But at $12000 in change not to mention the money I had to spend to get the graphics back on I kind of figured I could afford to be Nick picky about them being stupid enough to order the wrong part. But I definitely love the support lol

    Absolutely man.
    You should NEVER have to “live with it”. Your insurer doesn’t have to “live with” getting 3/4 of a payment,
    so you shouldn’t have to “live with” a less than original matching part.

    Great Vid, glad you your PhoenYx is running again.

    Nice Spyder, I just received 2 night rider LED’s that I will be installing on my girlfriends Spyder and my Spyder as winter projects. Good luck with getting your color corrected.

    Very Nice Ray. I noticed that they had to do both the bonnet and the front cowl. If they replaced the bonnet should it not be the same lighter blue? They may have ordered the cowl in the wrong year. By the way. Your "Signature" light? Where and what? I put mine in the grille and have sequential as the "Signature" light.

    Wow I love the lights! But you really could pass for a cop with the right colors. I put a link in my description as to were I got it from.

    Me and the shop where shocked. I think Allstate was too. The man who gave the ok is gone now. The cost of the repair was well pass there limit of %. Totaling it would have cost almost as much. I think another 2,000 or 3,000 worse of all is if I do it again (NOT) they would have to pay it to total it out.

    If they had totaled it I would have replaced it with a new 2020 in less time to fix. But I'm happy. Their loss is my gain!

    But if you meant the lights that I have then here it is

    But definitely be careful with the patterns You choose and where you choose to run them. I'm sure some police officers somewhere might feel differently than you do about them. Lol

    You just have to be careful when you’re running blue or red lights on the front of your vehicle. Here in Nebraska is frowned upon. LPD RETIRED
