My car is a 96 GT w/ the ZR Crystal White paint. I bought a cobra front bumper and am planning to install within the next month. The car has the original paint and I was wondering what the odds of the new paint matching?

The car still shines up fairly nice, and painting the entire car right now isn't possible. Have you guys had any luck w/ painting single panels or something similar to this?

I guess what I'm asking is what you would do if you were me? If the bumper is obviously brighter, how can keep it from looking like crap?

Thanks........

You cant it's going to look newer then the rest. Just do your best to ignore it and sooner or later you won't notice it much at all.
