The only major difference in the paint should just be the flex additive that is added to paint being applied to plastic.

My roof spoiler I got on ebay for $60 painted seems to match my paint better than this bumper.
And as time goes by, it's likely that the difference in color will be even greater and more noticeable, especially to you. If possible, get it corrected now or you'll be kicking yourself over and over for years to come.

Yeah, dropped it off at the shop this morning. Hoping for a better turnout this time around.

The car is too low for the system that pushes the car through the wash and it went under the rail and ripped off. Had tape and screws and ripped about 4 or 5 screws out in the process. I won't get a good look at till spring most likely. Already have a new lip.

None...LOL. It's just a cap to eliminate the 'enhanced' intake sound.

That's right... no more drone. Makes the cabin that much quieter.

The OE sound generator is not a drone sound.

replaced the weather strip on my sunroof. Ive had this annoying rattle in the car since i purchased it and couldnt pinpoint it until i checked the ClubLexus boards. The rattle sounded as if it were coming from the rear of the car, when all this time it was the rubber seal that goes around the sunroof. Ordered the part for $45 and walahh, i feel like i have a brand new car.

while driving at low speeds there is a low continuous noise. Not sure the technical term for it, but im pretty sure that's what the other posters were describing as well.

Ok, I’ll readily admit, since the sound varies in pitch and is not all low frequency, it’s not technically a drone sound, let me rephrase...

The cabin is made slightly quieter by doing away with the intake sound generator that creates a more sporting engine note in the GS. Some folks are fans of the artificially created sound, while I’m leaning towards a little more quiet in my car at this time.

However, if I change my mind and desire that more sporting note, it’s really easy to switch back to stock.
