There are absolutely degrees of unique. I could buy a brand new vehicle that is "unique" because it has an individual VIN that makes it distinct from others that are otherwise identical. I could also have the same car be "unique" because I had a custom paintjob applied, but still have it functionally identical to the basic models on the showroom floor. Or I could have a "unique" vehicle that I fully customized with turbos, aftermarket suspension and tires, a custom sound system, custom lighting, completely altered interior, tinted windows, etc. until the damn thing is almost a Ship of Theseus conundrum.

All three options are different levels of "unique".

If you have a VIN no one else has the VIN is unique
If you have a custom paint job that no one else has, it's unique. If I also painted my car the same colour it's no longer unique.
If you fully customize your car and no one else has done it, it's unique. If we fully customize our cars together and we install the same parts, it's no longer unique.

It's a BINARY not a SPECTRUM.

If you install all those mods it's unique. If I install all those mods and a little hula dancing teddy bear on the dashboard it's not MORE unique. It's just both have unique cars.

Edit: I'm mad
