mars red owners, does your headlight washer caps match the car?
the dealership told me that due to the paint being non-metalic, the headlight washer/tow caps on the front bumper usually do not match. they said this was due to the plastic being different than the car.

is there any truth to this? do i have a reason to goto the dealership and have them do something?

please let me know. thanks
