This is a common problem with WDP. There are a couple of explanations. 1) You had your car for a while and the paint is exposed. 2) WDP on plastic parts requires an additonal flux in the paint so it won't crack...may change the color of WDP. 3) WDP has some inconsistancy with manufactur date.

I have the same problem with my car. the body kit is made in Japan, while our cars our painted in US. My 02 TL-S WDP has a lighter shade then my uncles 01 TL WDP
