03 white color vs 05 white

Are they the same color? Any one has the codes for both years? The reason I ask is because I have 05 gsr white and about to swap trunk with a buy with 03 white. I am going from stock spoiler to wingless. Please help me out. I don't want my car to have to different whites. Thanks

I think the 03 is weightless white and the 05 is wicked white. Or it could be the other way.

They are 2 different colours. They are very similar but the trunk swap would be noticeable.

I can get the two paint codes later on when I go to work. I work at a body shop and we will have the paint codes on file. If you need someone to paint it wicked white to match better and you are in the bostn/worcester area pm and I could do it for a good price.

W83 = Weightless
W37 = Wicked

They are different enough to require a trip to the body shop.

Wicked white is definitely more of a brighter white than the weightless white.

Weightless White however is faster, due to it's weightlessness from being applied paper thin, allowing it to be shed from leading edges and saving countless pounds.
