when separate car parts are not painted together at the same time, and the same color 98% of the time you can tell.

There's a slight difference.. I have an '09, with the trunk lid from an '05 and the silver on my car is just a tiny bit brighter. It's pretty hard to tell unless you're in just the right lighting.

The difference in colors isn't something I like to highlight when I take pictures of my car, so I don't have any readily available but I'll run out and see if i can snap a few of when it shows and when it doesn't.
