I purchased a ground effects rear lip from them a year ago and the color matches my car. No problems.

Spot on my but car was new also. If your car is old, your paint may be faded so it won't match as expected.

When I got my gfx front lip a couple of years ago it didn't match but as always crystal white is hard to match.

^ Crystal White and SFP is the hardest colors to match. No one will be able to get it just right unless they have the car sitting right in front of them

I bought the GFX front and sides in MRM, and the match is pretty on point.

I was interested if the paint and the clear coat last and keep their quality overtime as long as the original ones that come from Japan. If the part is prepped and paint professionally applied, not like most dealerships that will can spray parts just to sell and then paint goes bad in months. Thank you guys for your feedback. It looks like I will be ordering tomorrow.

I have a starfire pearl and was going to order the GFX front/rear lip and was wondering the same thing. I dont expect PERFECT match being its the hardest color to get to be exact. Some of these replies has boosted my confidence.

Purchased a full gfx kit from them and the paint was spot on. Of course my color SGM is not hard to match.
