I would say wdp mismatches 7/10 times. Aspec looks seamless on kbp and nbp, jealous of those guys because it does make the car look much better when it matches

Y'all want my swirls to go with it?
Get the Aspec, worry about color matching it later!
OR comb the BM for a whole set in whatever color for cheap and have a paint guy paint it to match while holding up the painted pieces to your car.

Jeezy, I know you want the car to be perfect, but it never will be. It's not a show car or a museum piece, so enjoy it while you have it and do something that truly enhances the look of the car.
Will it bug you? Yes; it bugs me as well, BUT it's so worth it.

Getting it paint matched could be the solution, but now we are adding hundreds of dollars to the price of the kit. And WDP Tri-coat would be even MORE expensive to match.

Update 8/13/13
Here's a couple random shots to feast your eyes on before diving into the juicy details of this post:
Last week I did some maintenance work on my car (with the help of JJH). We drained the power steering fluid and replaced it with redline racing tranny fluid. The old tranny fluid looked SO bad. We also replaced the 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches. I want this car to last me a long time and the last thing I need is a transmissions failure. After I do the next two (possibly 3) flushes, I'll feel a lot better.We did an oil change too, but that is not oil in the drop pan. That is tranny fluid.
We found what appeared to be vomit or baby diarrhea under the passenger side of the car. We traced it back to a punctured CV joint. I'm still debating whether I could get by with a new boot and grease, or if I should buy a raxle.

I thought my car looked mean before... How about now?

Should be good now. I accidentally deleted this one in the process of fixing it.

Update
I replaced my serpentine belt tensioner (twice). The first one they sent me was defective. The top pulley rubbed against the main body of the tensioner. I was surprised since it was OEM. The second one was fine.
I'm doing the second stage of my tranny flush this weekend and also replacing my passenger CV axle due to the torn boot (got a raxle).
Used my time machine to get a before and after shot of my car(s) side by side

Picture Update!
I've been at somewhat of a standstill as far as modifications go. I can assure you there are definitely some big things in the works, but I'll leave it at that :wink:. I have, however, been doing lots of maintenance (mostly preventative) work. Gotta save my tranny!
Also have been hanging around a lot with JJH and Gerzand (both local to me)... cruising around town, eating grub, going to car shows, etc. It's been really fun! So without further ado, here's some pics:
Just some local cruising and car meets...
Slowmotion Motorsports Dyno Day 2013, Columbus OH
Bath time the night before
Fuelin' up before we headed out
Totally unintended photoshoot while we wait for our black friend to catch up
At the show (Andy got 2nd place best of show)
Fatman's Invasion 2013 at Headlands Beach, Mentor OH
Meeting up with locals before we headed out

Let me know what you guys think!
