Hi. I have a 2002 Aegean Blue TL-S. I recently had the front under spoiler of the body kit replaced and the blue on the new piece looks darker than my bumper and the rest of my car. At first, I thought I may have accidentally received Eternal Blue but than the dealer assures I got Aegean Blue. What do you guys think? Will it lighten up over time? Anyone else experience this?

 

your car is 3 yrs old, of coz the paint will be different

my front lip is slightly different than my car's color, i have an anthracite

look closely my front lip color is different

 

What happened to your sides and rear pieces?

 

installing now, my car is in the shop now and will be ready tmr

the side and the rear has to be painted so they will be match with the ca, only the front is a bit off

 

if u had it done to the dealer, chances are they will not match your paint.

 

These parts are all sprayed separately...

If you look closely, our cars bumpers will look slightly different than the rest of the car too...

First, they are sprayed separately, which means that it is especially an impact on metallic paints, since the metal flaking will not be a 100% match...

Second, the paint is slightly different chemically too... the bumper paints have a little more "flex" built into it...

My Antracite car does not match perfectly... The bumpers and the rest of the car have a pretty close match...the OEM kit is definitely an off color...

I was thinking the same as you when I got my kit... "did they really send me the right color?"...

Oh well...

 

the kit color is different, not as deep as the body, maybe the plastics do not shine as much

 

still looks fantastic though!

 

I called Acura Parts, and they told me I was sent Eternal Blue!!! I have Aegean Blue. The two part #s are only 1 letter off. Sigh. I hope this is resolved soon.
