I have 4 custom formulas that i made for 37j because some cars are really yellow, some are way whiter.

I figured its not OEM but don't really mind. Thanks for the input, that's fucking insane that you have to have 4 formulas... I don't know why they couldn't just make these cars in a basic white, looks way better imo anyways. Mine looks pretty tan in daylight and pretty white in fluorescent. Now that I think about it I'd probably just wrap the whole car pure white before I paint matched everything to that pearl shit. And I'm not even a huge fan of wraps.
It should also probably be said that this car was vandalized and I needed a whole new hood and driver door which was paintmatched professionally and looks pretty damn good to me (although having no car for a month sucked ass). But needing a second paintmatch for the same color I don't even love makes me want to just ditch the whole color while I have a good excuse to.
That's why I just wanted a quick cheap bumper that at least looked like it was supposed to be the same color as the rest of the car; something I could run for a few months and have it look decent. But now I'm thinking I might just run my current bumper with all its battle scars until I wrap the whole car, in which case I'd buy a new unpainted OEM BRZ bumper prior.
Thanks for the input everyone, unfortunately I change my mind on car shit every few hours lol. I'll update this thread with comparison pics if I end up saying fuck it and getting it anyways.
