Mine's almost two years old. I haven't noticed any significant fade or other color problems. Some people report that silver is one of the colors that is most prone to slight mismatch between bumpers (plastic) and the rest of the body (metal). I have not had this problem, however.

I just sold my '99 silver TL and there was no fading. The back bumper was refinished after 4 years. The front bumper, hood, and front fenders were repainted after 5 years. All done to fix scrapes and chips by a quality body shop. The match was perfect and you could not tell original from repainted areas. There was no fading on the repainted areas either.
