I wouldn't necessarily "bash" 5:AD on their paint, it's a tough job trying to match an exact factory color with tons of orders backing up. The only other color I heard of was the Whiteout wasn't an exact match either. But again, color trademarking.



Shitty customer service aside...
It's not a matter of bashing. It's a matter of trying to aim for perfection, and going for "the best quality." I think having a body shop match to your car on the install is the key to getting it right, and that is what I was going for in my feedback above. It'll net you the closest, and best color matching result.

The more I see the lip on my car, the more I like it. It's been a few hours now, and I'm starting to get used to it.

Anyway, I'm hoping they learn from all of this, and work on their customer service skills and communication. If that had been clear, I would have no issues at all.
