Maybe its just the pictures, but the paint does not look the same color.

Nice kit though, like the grill a lot.

the light in the pictures make it look much more severe than it does in real life...but yes, it is about a shade off...i'm kinda mad at the shop, but i don't know if i should go back there and tell them to do something about it or what...i am not about to pay another $400-500 for repaint since it is so close already...it really isn't that noticable in real life but i'd still like it to match perfectly...

material.

the type of material that the paint will go on will change a bit from one type to the next so when you see fiberglass kits they will look a bit off compared to the metal panels of the car.

also, the sun fades paint color, so when you get a new paint job, it may have a slight color difference.

If I noticed it from the pictures there is a problem that they should fix. Bring them the pictures and be like WTF?! But it looks real good otherwise, but they should fix that. I don't care if it is because of fiberglass vs. metal, they need to prep better than, it should match. Good luck!

I have a concern about the back bumper sticking out in the air. Don't U think that would cause some unnecessary Drag driveing down the HWY. I think I posted this up long time ago when the pic was shows from the SCC. U'ld need some wide rims to cover the fenders do it doesn't suck all that air in the rear bumper area, Guys call me crazy but I think that rear end causes too much drag by the way its sticking out.
