Yes It's just the way the light is hitting the facia.
I'll see if I can find out. As I mentioned, they matched the color from the rear facia and what was left over from the old front one.
The guy who worked on it was very skilled. I had some fiberglass body damage that he also repaired. The shop I used was very eager to work on the car. They weren't afraid to take on the job. They were thrilled when I showed them where to get all the parts. I have to give a shout out to Toby at DMCNW. He coordinated everything with the body shop and Houston. He was extremely helpful throughout the process, and I'm glad he got credit for the sale.
