Default Rear OEM kit peice....Color Never matches???

Is it me, or do the rears never match perfectly on light color cars?
I have the complete kit on my GSR. Bought it from radley in my OEM color, I did not have to repaint it. Mine rear looks like it doesnt match. I have seen other white cars and they have the same unmatched effect..

is it an illusion from that black strip? or is it jsut me?

here's mine

It's hard to tell from the picture but when I temporarily put mine on (just taped it), it seemed to match well both being Frost white.
But after staring at it for about an hour, circling the car back and forth, I decided to not include the rear valence.

Well, when i hade mine on all the pieces didn't match properly. I was told by several people this is due to the fact that 98 Integras were Frost White, and 99+ Integras were Taffetas White. This bothered me so much, that I took the kit off and sold it. Unfortunately, i couldnt re-paint the pieces due to lack of funds.

i think they gave you a Frost White peice for the ends. Doesnt matter. People cant tell unless you point it out.

I have the same problem but I got mine repainted because my car is a 2001 and the white is slighty different. The shop painted twice and still can't match both whites. My firend who owns the shop told me that red and white are the hardest colors to match.

yeah...it seems like that...i had my kit on for about a week too and i hated it because it didnt match...i ended up keeping the front lip and painting my stock sides...which came out pretty good...my OEM side skirts and back lips are still in my garage collecting dust!...

here is the pic of my car:

Probably because your paint on your car has faded a bit.

It could be the way the light is hitting it. If not...give it a wax By the way...what kind of springs/coilovers do you have?

Mine matches perfectly

Your car looks awesome, you can't notice any color difference. I'd keep it if I were you.
