The best way to explain...

Don, the owner of Euro Sport, said something like this to me (substituting SVX for Acura)

"Let's say I took a green SVX off of the assembly line at 9am, and an identical one off the assembly line at noon. I park them next to each other and they look identical in every way... Now let's say I swap doors between the two cars. There will be a difference, however slight, and it will show up."

That's why he used this technology as it was a lot less hassle and no returns. He said to me, "I don't care what color the factory says your car is... I care about what color YOUR car is"
