I believe our doors are made with a higher durability (sp?) material... and that may be why you see a color difference...

Ive never noticed my doors being different then the body, but my bumpers are definitely different then the body. And so are my mirrors. Cars with a lot of pearl or metallic in the paint are more noticable then solid colors - I think everyone that agrees with you has a silver civic, you wont see any red or black civics say they dont match because they are solid colors. Really, many cars come from the factory not matching perfectly.

You are going to notice a difference between your mirrors and the rest of your car because they are made of a different material... :/
