Night Run Photo Shoot (Showing off new goodies)

I recently got OEM window visors, and a roof spoiler from bmwoemshop.
Also, you'll see I'm on my winter setup.

Type-S sidemarkers are coming in, but I went ahead and took some pictures.

The license plate LEDs are the best starting mods ever.
You can get a stock car but all a sudden make it look much nicer at night with them.

The silver paint doesn't seem to match. The front and rear quarter panels are the same colour, however, the doors are a lighter shade of silver. The doors themselves match each other perfectly. It's very subtle, but it's noticeable to the trained eye. If the paint has been matched, someone did a very good job. If it hasn't been matched, Acura did a bad job

It's noticeable in the first pic you posted, amongst a few of the others. The panels are pointed in the same direction, without a change in lighting (well at least between the front fender and front door).

Then again, I can see it on the drivers side as well with the doors. Very odd! I don't mean to be shitting on your car- it's a very nicely done unit. Acura's paint matching appears to be less than stellar- the difference between the bumper paint and body paint on our TLs is atrocious, to say the least. Add on the A-Spec kit, and it's easy to have a three coloured car, although your kit looks like it blends in nicely.

Fluorescent lighting also tends to show off the most difficult to see paint blemishes/inconsistencies/mismatches. Again, I'm not hating, just curious if you had repairs done (hey, shit happens) or if it's Acura to blame (damn Acura!).

Thanks

I can definitely see what you mean, now

I bought the car when it was 6 years old, I'm certain there was paint work, not entirely sure where.

I did have two panels painted over my ownership, though.
The rear passenger quarter panel was repainted to fix rust, and the trunk was painted to fix a couple dents.
