installation kit color match?

[iamshadow]

ive been looking at all the kits sold to install an aftermarket stereo, as well as other peoples installs. now the pictures the have on most website the kit looks silver-ish when in fact the dash piece is not silver at all. and other peoples installs ive seen there dash's look lighter in color as well. not sure if its the pictures or something. so do the colors match up? so far the ones ive seen are the metras and TURBO^2 kits...

metra kit from installer.com(the TURBO ones seem to be the same color in the pictures they use)



picture i found

and how mine looks....











seems way darker to me?

I think you have the 1st gen interior. I could be wrong.

Do you have an 03/04 coupe? If so, that could explain the differences. My 05 coupe has the brushed aluminum in that area.

yup, 03/04 coupe. the kits im looking at are the ones for the 03-04 though.

I think yours and the one in the ad look very close. As a graphic designer, I accept the fact that cameras output different colors, computer screens output different colors, designers use difference colors spaces...

What does that mean? I can make my black G coupe look like a Diamond Graphite with enough tweaking.

The one in the ad and the first picture of yours...they look exactly the same to me given error for camera differences.

the color is a bit off, the interior is a bit brownish and the kit is a bit more silver-ish but its decent looking
