Default 98 Civic frost white turned into...CHAMPIONSHIP WHITE!

No, I didn't get a paint job. But my paint, over the years (the 2 years I've owned it to be exact), has turned a shade darker. It's kinda like a CW... Anyone experience this? I noticed it since I painted my front lip, using the Honda color code and it's TOO WHITE!

BTW, ABS sucks. The lip I got must have been warped or something? The ends curved OUTWARDS, so when I tried to bend them back in to mount it, it split in half. I think I'll have to re-do the whole thing and patch up the ends again. Anyone with experience with ABS lips from like tornactive.com or something? Does it fit well?...

My friends hatchback is white, and his paint was the same way. It turned to an off white over the years. We took a professional grade buffer and a cutting agent/cleaner wax to the paint, and went to work. The paint came back, bright white.

Paint the lip championship white. lol.

On a side note, my friend has a 98 civic and it started looking championship white. He figured he needed a paint job and he painted his car CW w/o the doorjams and stuff and it turned out great. His jams were already faded so it actually blended in nicely. Just a thought. Same color paint jobs are much much cheaper. You can get a quality same color job for around 1500 here.
