Default frost white and taffeta white how identical?

how similar are their colors? if i put them side to side is it a noticeable difffference? there is a guy selling his frost white spoiler, but my car is taffeta white. it is impossible to find a painted taffeta itr wing, so if frost white is almost the same i might buy it.

While they are smiliar, the Tafetta has a touch more yellow in it so it is a tad on the yellow side compared to the Frost white. I don't think a Frost white wing would look bad on a Tafetta car, it will most likely only be noticeable by you.

But if it were a Tafetta wing on a Frost white car, it would stick out like crazy, especially to me.

Curious, how much is he selling it for? Are you picky about your car? Why not buy one and have it painted the color you need?

Yeah my friend has a frost white teggy and he did a JDM ITR Championship White hatch swap. The JDM hatch looks like its an oxidized yellow compared to the rest of his car and we thought it was going to be really close until we got it installed.

At least you're only swapping the wing. If you do get it, put the wing in place on the car and see how it looks before you bolt it down. I'm sure that it will be a bit whiter than the rest of the car, but it shouldn't be a big deal.
