Default 2003 accord after market spoiler

I bought an after market spoiler and installed it. My installation went perfect but after I washed the car, I noticed the color is not queit the same. It looks like the spoiler is lighter and brighter then the car's. My car color is white.

Do you think it is because of the poor paint job or because my car is 6 months older and the color faded out a little bit?

I also looking into installing an aftermarket spoiler. How much did you pay and did you install at the dealer?

I did it myself with an assistance (my wife). My installation is better than at the dealer, I think?.

Definitely because of the poor paint job. I installed an OEM underbody kit on my car after 3 years and it matched very well. This is why you get factory spoilers.

kinda defleats the thread
my guess would be its the manufactor or color code of the paints that are off.. not really the age of the car
