The rear bumper and trunk does look pretty off A paint meter would settle this, but you can check right now and see if the orange peel is the same on the bumper and 1/4, should give you a rough idea. My roommate crashed his anthracite gray TL, the shop was able to match left side of his car perfectly, but if you looked at the OP, it was totally different, the worked side had almost none compared to the untouched area.

i checked it over and everything appears fine. No rough edges, no signs of new work under the car, everything is still sanded, paints orange peel is the same, i think its just the lighting. It doesnt look like that in person

I thinks its the angle of that one shot.....seems like in the other pics the panel seems to match like the normal range of factory paint.

I think the flash is hitting off your quarter panel in the one shot, and it makes it look more silver than the bumper.

Even my Ivory Pearl bumpers don't match exactly, and it pisses me off. The front bumper repainted looks better now imo.

Looks great, J, I have to confess I'm a little envious. Guess I should get my **** in gear and find some springs.

it comes down to location. here in cali you can get springs installed for like 80-120 depending on shop. but in other spots where car shops are as rare as pink time attacks you have to pay.

get big wheels and low offsets to fill that gap man. congrats on the drop

Nice Janik. I like it, even since you get snow so that drop is perfect for you. You just need some wheels(Comming soon).
