Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Paint color and fog light cover question...

I need some solid fog light covers for my bugeye, and it's pretty much impossible to find the STi ones, esp. in blue.

So I'm thinking about just grabbing some from a US dealership intended for the RS/TS bugeyes (since they came with covers if they didn't have the optional fog lights). The question is, how close does the RS "blue mica" paint match the WRX's "world rally blue"? IIRC, it's significantly darker.

My other option is to get a set of RS covers in white or black and deal with the mismatch color, or get a few bottles of touchup paint and an airbrush and paint 'em to match.

I should probably just get some in black, since I'll probably be cutting them up to install brake ducting in them anyway.
