Default Deck Spoiler Paint Concern

I have an 06 1G1 Tungsten Pearl. I just ordered the OEM Lexus deck spoiler pre painted.

A buddy of mine said that it may not look right because my paint faded on my car and that paint is going to be brand new.

Any thoughts of how this will look?

I got my car in 2008 and it sits all day and all night in a garage. Just drives 1 hour a day to work. Can't speak to what the previous owner did.

Thanks.

You should be cool, don't worry! TP can't fade too much.

I have an 2006, tungsten pearl and just got a GFX front lip prepained from Sewell. Spot on...our color is more forgiving than others.

don't worry

I order my 1g1 from sewell as well. The paint match is pretty much spot on. The only problem was that the paint around the lip area wasn't as smooth as the rest of the wing. But you can't notice it until you are up close and looking for it
