No it doesn't has alittle more brown in it. But I like it none the less. Not crazed on the rims but I think it looks nice!

Actually in person the paint in direct sunlight the paint matches perfect. The shading is throwing off the colors a bit.

Looks like you put it together well. Can't ever beat a factory part's alignment!

Your bumper is painted a different color though

No I don't park it there, the shop does. They let me store my FD there to keep it out of the elements and prevent anyone screwing with it. So when they open shop they just park it in the handicap spot. It's also useful when I drop off my GSX I can pick up my FD and drive off. I don't have to rely on other people to pick my *** up

If the color is off slightly I may just have her repainted. I can't stand inconsistancies like that. Especially if it's a show car

NOt a big fan of the rim color, but I think the rims would look good a different color (black, silver, CHROME)

good looking car. I think the paint just looks like that because of the shadow of that wall.

looks good man! as far as the color being off, its a shadow. if you look at the picture again where the paint is darker you will notice the roof line of the building, and on the bumper above the plate frame you will notice the paint matches again.

Nice car.


But since you are the owner of the vehicle, the ticket for parking in a handicapped spot with no permit is going to come in your name. I don't know about your state but here in CA is like $250 and that was years ago. So just to avoid future headaches you should tell your shop not to do that anymore.
