I too only thought it came in Wicked White, but according to Gruppe-S group buy they are doing now, it says Weightless White not Wicked White.

soooooooooo does that mean that the white in japan comes with metallic in it and that the color really doesn't match with the 2006 evo wicked white as it states on the mitsubishi website?????

and $50 paint job for the bumper????? is that with home depot sand paper, can of primer, and 2 cans of plain white paint?! hahahhahahah

yup that was me. Started the 1st/2nd GB when i worked there.

But anyway, I got 45 jdm rear bumpers coming soon. 20 Graphite grey, and the rest are in silver, white, red, blue and a few yellows

Holla at me if you need them!

ITs practically impossible to get a perfect paint match, but usually white is a forgiving color.

true taking into consideration sun fading and just the nature of paint itself, but if you take a look at the JDM bumper in person it has a metallic flake in it..........it a very kool color but the sun couldn't have made the metallic flakes dissappeared
