yes way, the car is 100% factory. Everyone said the same thing as you, but it's the shade & angle. Look at the wing, it's even in a different white. The owner of the car even clarified it.

That can easily be it, is that factory white a pearl? I bet it is.

Polyurethane and steel (and aluminum) all absorb primer differently, and even from the factory you can see discrepencies sometimes in indirect light. Especially with pearls.

then it's a shit factory paint job that can't match paint on plastic versus paint on metal.

It's pearl I think. By the way, he said that it looks all the same from factory, just that photo is different.

mike01civic - Mike, thanks for the info. I really like the RT5, but kinda too bling for me. But it's on my top 10 wheels to choose. About the duct, I really want it, but don't think it'd fit the Nismo. I may have to make it myself
