Was my car blue?

I pulled off the door panels because my drivers side window doesn't work, and what did I find?

most likely it was. have u checked any other places that are covered to see if they are blue. it may just be a dorr form a different vehicle and the dorr was blue but the car was black.

YUP, im leaning forvards a used door rather then the car being blue as the original color, but you never know, but i say 80% used door.

take the skin off the other door and see if its blue and look under the carpet and stuff, anywhere that you might not paint if your repainting a car

i don't see the VIN number or weight class tags on the door, i'd vote that it was replaced.

Oh snap, other door is black, as is under the carpet in the back hatch. You guys are good. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I guess no one wants to think their car had been smashed once. Thanks a lot!
