Not to thread Jack but here are some other pics, I thought the match was actually really good. On mine at least.

Here's what I've learned about matching whiteout. I posted this in another post with 636's lip kit. For some reason painters can't mimic the "pearl effect" like factory. I know CARSMO was having issues with it on their wings. Most of the time it looks just fine and matches perfectly, thankfully. I too have this problem on my Stillen wing. Good news is that it sticks to more in pictures than it does in person. I have yet to have a person notice that the Stillen lip is too white. It seems the pearl is what gives the car it's almost beige color in the light, so when the light hit's it just right, the lip stays white and the rest of the color goes off white. I mad the mistake of paying a very good, very expensive shop here in San Diego to do the wing thinking they could avoid it. Sadly it didn't happen….I just spent too much money I could have spent 1/2 the money I did and got just as good of a paint job.


Either way, in person, I'm betting @636 's bumper looks pretty dead on. Even in these pics, the car looks SICK!!! It's come a long way!
