Default Lip doesn't match
I just put on the front spoiler and it seems to be much brighter and a little lighter than the rest of the vehicle. Do you think giving my car a good wax will make it match better??
Thanx,
Alex

Sometimes Silverstone won't match up in different lighting. This is even evident between body panels on brand new S2000s. You're probably okay leaving it as is.

Just about all front lips and rear wings and hardtops are slightly off. Never going to get a perfect paint match even from the factory.

is this an OEM spoiler or is it a pre-painted replica like 4ig or Spugen?

It's an OEM.. I washed and waxed and it's a little better but still pretty far off... guess I'll just live with it and see how it turns out next wax

Yeah, my OEM Spa Yellow front spoiler is the same way. It's just a little off, but it doesn't bother me much.

It's really not too bad and still looks 100 times better than stock!
