My One Worry About White

It would seem to me as if they are half a shade off.

That being said, an art professor in college once told me that white is one of the hardest colors to consistently match. He went on to say that no two whites are alike, so a body shop might have a hard time matching the color perfectly unless they get Nissan's exact specifications.

Once you get the car, please update me on if you notice a difference between the painted sheet metal and the painted plastics… I'd be curious to know if this phenomenon is true on the 370Z, as it seems to be the case on most of Nissan's other whites.
