Does your kit paint match the rest of the car? It seems that on my car the kit is more silver than the rest of the car. Especially after washed.

Mine upclose is real noticeable.
Is this a problem that we could take to the dealer or Toyota?

Its because of the material its painted on I believe. Check out the gen 1.5 lunar mist bumpers, its way off compared to the rest of the car, again because of the different material its painted on. Don't think the dealer will help you out on that one.

With my Gen2 lunar mist, the color looks identical from body to bumper and I've seen that on all other lunar mists I've seen (at least new ones). I've found that pearl white shows the difference more than other colors.

Prolly more noticeable with the more complex paint job. Frost has more layers than the mist. Put that on plastic and metal and the bonding props may change the look a bit.

You may be right. I have the same issue with the Absolute Red. However, I don't think it's nearly as noticeable as the metallic colors.

It is noticable on my 04 Lunar mist SLE too. Seems as if car companies are doing that a lot.
