The paint has yet to hit the sunlight in the previous pics it was still pretty fresh. The PPW color is extremely hard to color match this was done by America's Autobody. It will take some time for the paint to darken a bit and fade in with the car just like some other parts I had painted, Pics are poor quality lol either way say what you gotta say I can't stop ya :-)

its hard to match but its not impossible. my body shop too 2 weeks to get it right but they did. its not gonna darken like you think it is. they just didnt put enough pearl into the paint. a good body shop will mix and shoot on a piece of scrap metal and compare to your car and keep mixing until its right.

^ and that's exactly what they did :-). I forgot to mention that before I put on any exterior body kit pieces when my car still had the OEM parts several people who state the color didn't match.... So I guess factory paint has the same issue looks like Nissan couldn't match PPW lol...

^love your amuse, is it made by auto-shine? I was wondering if it was painted by them, seems like the paint is a little off.

Fuuuuuuu everytime I see that amuse front w/ the carbon diffuser it makes me want it even more. I'm torn between that or the Nismo V3 on my PPW.

paint matching will never be 100% on CF, fiberglass, and those other light materials.. not even my stock parts look 100%
