It was hard to match since every panel is slightly a different color. Nissan does a lot of great things, painting just isn't one of them.
Yikes....very interesting! That scares me and it was one of the things I was worried about since I was told that it comes prepainted. I was going to have a body shop that works in conjunction with my Nissan Dealer install it after I ordered it through the Parts Dept at the dealer. Now I plan to ask the body shop if they will paint it if the prepainted color does not match to my satisfaction. Thanks for the info!
