finally got my sideskirts on, but im not in love exactly with the paint matching..from one angle they look right on and from others they look off...is that normal? ? ?? ? ?

It appears to me that the drivers side is a bit off. Color matching is tough to do on silver. Fitment looks good though.

my car is far far from silver buddy..but yes, it seemed to me the drivers side was off and the passenger side is fine..why would that be? ?

In the photo it looks off. But sun and lighting and angles have a crazy effect on colors. Does it look dead on in some light and not in others? Does the other side do the same thing. If they both react the same in different light then it's probably OK. But, if you turn the car around and expose both sides to the same lighting (sun) conditions and one side looks OK and the other not, then you may have a problem. Did they come painted or were they painted after you received them?

if its off and you dont like the job that the body shop did go back and do a lil *****ing and im sure they will repaint it

Track

Metallic silvers (such as Silverstone) have different "throws" of gray depending upon the angle, due to the metallic flake and the mix of colors that make Silverstone. The surface being painted effects the throw, so it will be nearly impossible to get an exact match between two different applications of Silverstone on different surfaces, as even the color of the primer coat can effect the throw.

Which rear spoiler is that, btw?

The combination is very nice!

nice side skirt, but would be better to paint your lip and rear lip at the same time..if matching paint is hard..

Actually what I've heard from some good body shops is that the paint absorbs differently when comparing it on metal to plastic. I have a silverstone and in some pics, the front bumper looks different than the hood and front quarter panels, and that's from the factory. You'll never get a complete match.

Hey, but that's what I've heard...

Funny you should mention this....That is the very reason why I didn't purchase a PPW Z. When I looked at it up closer (brand new on the lot), I could definitely tell which pieces were metal compared to the polyurethane. Wasn't so obvious on the DB, so that's what I got.

And in my opinion....it needs a lip because it looks kind of off without one. Lower sideskirts with a higher front and rear end...not so good. Just like adding bumpers without the side skirts....looks like dookie. As stated....this is my opinion.
