A Spec kit color match to WDP

Gentleman,

I'm minutes away from placing my order for a base A Spec kit for my 07 WDP

What have those who installed the kits on WDP noticed as far as the color match goes? Does it blend in well, or stick out like the yellowish rear bumper?

Let me know!

It's never a perfect match, but close enough.

I have SSM, which is also known for the paint mis-match too and it's hard to tell the kit is a different colour.

Blends well. Don't worry about it, and order it =)

The whIte in the a spec is a little "whiter" than the car. I'm assuming that's because the aspec kits haven't been exposed to the UV elements like our cars have. I'm sure it'd be a good match if your car was newly painted.

Problem you'll have is if the bumpers weren't repainted the A Spec kit closely matches the body color, but not the bumpers.

Great example of the crappy Acura paint match:
