Thanks for the compliments again.

The kit costs $1849 painted and the fogs are an additional $399.

Looking good. I am trying to get my hands on an authentic L-tuned kit myself.

Carson doesn't have a bodyshop on site, they bring it to their approved vendor Bay Cities Auto Body which is not too far from Carson. They are a AAA approved repair facility and Carson Toyota exclusive body repair shop. Color match is perfect, they have an awesome painter there.

So I could feel comfortable with a pre-painted kit and not worry about the color match?

If you want an exact match you'll have to send them your gas door. That's what I did.

I think I was just lucky and by coincidence getting the perfect color match to my oem paint. But SDLexus is right, just send in your gas cap cover and they'll be able to match it easily.
