Re: body color

when you say the "body tag" is missing what do you mean, in the center console there should be a piece of paper (RPO codes) this will have your paint code on it unless the car was repainted, in this case you'll have to take it to an autobody supply/paint shop and they'll take a pic of the paint and the computer can match it.
