Looks alot better. My mom's RSX has a similar problem with the paint not matching perfectly, but unless they are repainting the whole car, it is expected. IMO, just leave it as is.

they should be able to blend the color a lot better than that... I'd offer the services of my body shop at work but we just sold it...

but the bottom line is that it is possible...

vic: looks good, but I KNOW they can do a better job. They should blend that into the rear panel, you shold not be able to notice that your rear bumper has been painted.

My front bumper looks like yours does, but I am used to it now. it's a bit darker than the front panels, but I tell myself... it's only a bumper.

your call dawg!

doesnt look too bad. My rear bumper is the same way, like one shade off. I think urs will look better once it fades a bit, but its deifnately better than before. Good luck.

The color still doesn't match. Take it somewhere else, because they obviously don't have the ability to fix it.

i think the lighting of the camera makes the contrast greater too....you're paint naturally fades so the original is gonna be duller than the new bumper - of course you know this already....

yeah, good luck vic...let us know how it goes
