TRD kit paint fail?

[Wind2017]

I have been scouring autotrader for deal and found this.... I was excited about the price and trd body kit but then notice they are different shads of white?

Did they just order the wrong part?

Not exactly.. Honestly the paint match isn't that bad as white is the hardest color to get paint matched correctly. I think it might be a legitimate kit that came already painted that's why it might look a little bit off but in all honesty it doesn't look bad at all!

That's the dealer I'm buying my BRZ from.

The service there is really good.

However, that car in particular has a story behind it. It was a fake kit that was put on in an unprofessional manner which they had to take off. The rear bumper, because was fake, was melted by the TRD exhaust that was added on. It's an example of mods gone poorly.

The car as it is at the dealer has had the poor aftermarket pieces removed and they ordered in new stock parts to replace the damaged parts.

Those side skirts come painted. It is possible they ordered the wrong white. I would go look in person and see how it looks. Then ask if they have receipts for the parts. 2013/14 white is different than the 2015.

Looks like STZ answered the mystery, explains the crazy photo shop picture at the end. At this point it seems brand new is the way to go @.@

Plastic and metal. It'll always look different unless you pay a lot to get it really close matched.

IMHO, id rather go black with the kit.

Funny, I saw that same listing on Autotrader a few days ago. It has some other upgrades on it as well I believe, like a TRD air intake system, TRD exhaust, and Cusco strut tower bar (I think?). I remember seeing other people with C-West and TRD body kits in white and those colours never looked the same (The bodykit always looked a little whiter).

I found the original listing here: http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Scion/FR-...O&orup=4_15_16

Ya, I would steer clear. Not because of the colour match (every pick I have seen of a white TRD kit it didn't match unless repainted) but because if it was a cheap kit and there are other know mods what else had been done to it that has been removed? God only know what could been done to it and how hard it was beat on.
