Got my lip kit painted but curious how the color came out for you guys who own the SW tC.
I put mine on and can't see that much of a difference when looking at a distance, but when in shade or looking to it closely, i do see a difference.
I purchased the car 2 years ago and just got the lip kit painted, so some people are saying that the color of the car does fade out a bit, but just want to hear some experiences.
Also, is 040 for the tC Super White or Super White II

Car color does fade, and painted plastic looks different than painted metal.

my tc was hit by a drunk driver after my car was over a year old and when they painted they had to also blend everywhere cause the new paint was whiter cause the old had faded a little

the pics do not show that much of a difference, only seeing it in person will show differences.

so you mean it was repainted?

that would b awesome! well, i actually left the front lip to the body shop, and showed him how the color didn't blend w/ my stock, so he said he'll try a better job :/ don't know what that means but let's see how it goes

it's still not going to come out as perfect as you want it to be, you should of left your front bumper with him so he could of blended the front lip to the bumper so it can match. that's the only way blending 2 pieces is gonna work out right and same goes for the rear lip, as for the sides then you'd have to leave the car at the shop...hope you understand what i mean.

here are some pics. Can't notice that much of a difference so needs to be seen in person. If it comes out like this by pic, then i think it's not that bad

aparreira9586

iTrader: (5)

i would definitely try to do that haha but their paint job is not that outstanding. don't want to waste another part of my money getting it re-painted ya know? it's not bad at all really. just a bit noticeable when in the shade. The front lip kis w/ him so depending on how that comes out and if it matches better to my stock, then i'm gonna ask him to redo my other 3 pieces for a lower price

I just painted my lip myself with some cans from this paint place. They put it in a can and the color came out just like yours..weird. i guess its pretty hard to do it without them looking at the car itself. lol. bugs me as well.
