I regularly see people selling and buying OEM body parts like bumpers, rear spoilers and hoods. Do you repaint them or use them as-is? Basically, I'm wondering how good the paint match is from batch to batch, year to year.

I'm thinking about buying a new front bumper and wondering if I'm going to have to have it painted.

 

i bought a ppw spoiler, it's off just a hint, but wasnt enough to pay for a respray.

 

Great question...I would like to know this as well, specifically for a hood...bump!
