Got that covered, that was one of the first thing I asked the shop if they could do. To match the "texture" of the OE paint during sanding/polishing and sure enough they did. They said it took them a couple extra hours to get it just right. Kind of hard to see but this is where the front bumper meets the hood, they got the "orange peel" texture spot on. In fact it matches better than OEM, if you go out and look at your OEM bumpers, the texture doesn't match from the factory and that's another thing that bothered me. I've looked at half a dozen WRB BRZ's and the factory bumpers have a "smoother" texture to them. Now I can say my bumpers match color and texture wise better.
