This release and selected companions
Choosing one for your collection
Inspect the hood surface and the edge where it meets the yellow fenders. A top-down picture helps show the contrasting finish clearly.
Look at the rear wing and both bumpers before judging a loose example. The black wheels can hide scuffs unless the photo is well lit.
Collector questions
Is the dark hood a custom paint change?
The dark textured hood is part of the documented JBL23 Boulevard release. Compare its complete finish and packaging before identifying a loose car.
