Anyone actually ordered one of these?
I understand that they match the paint to your VIN - but how close is the match when its put on the vehicle?
I was under the impression that the factory paint will fade over the years at varying rates given the environmental conditions and maintenance performed on the individual vehicles.
The idea sounds pretty good to me - but is it a gamble?
Also, does anyone have any experience with these non-oem primered bumper covers on e-bay? Looks like there is a few for $150 (free shipping). Link Here

I had an experience with the GFX rear, the gfx was orginally another color and was painted starfire pearl, the paint matched, however im sure depending on who paints it, the edges on the gfx was not covered 100% completely, so the edges were still the primered dark color, its not a real big deal, and dont notice it unless you look for it.

I would imagine blending would be best color "match" and possibly be cheaper. That is what I plan to do when I finally get my bumper conversion project going. I think a unpainted '09 bumper is $250 but painted is almost double in price on Sewell.
