Default need help matching body kit color to car color

This is the first PS thing ive really tinkered with, (This is my SC), but I can't get the front lip kit, side skirts, and rear bumper sections to match the Indigo ink pearl. I took the body kit images from the Lexus SC pace car in the SC gallery as well as the SSR gt3 rims. The CF wing is from Veilside, but all I need is some help with the kit at the moment. Thx for any assistance!

this will take some skill on your part. What you want to do is first blend in the outline of the bodykit parts in witht he car, do this in 3 ways,
1. Smudge tool
2. Blur it
3. Erase it with a feathered brush

Then to do color, I suggest using Color Blance
Go to Image>Adjust>Color Balance play with the sliders, Also try Adjust hue/sturation, and brightness/contrast.

I messed around with the colors till i thought it was a pretty good match. i also got rid of the wing (dunno what i was thinking:P). and i dodged it a bit to get some more details. what do u guys think? (i had to save it under low res to get the file to fit, thats why it appears a lil grainy/fuzzy)
