I 2nd this. Try buffing the top or your fenders to see if it brightens it up some. It may not be a perfect match, but will be closer. White will get dull and dirty over time, you would be amazed at what a little rubbing compound can do.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Finally got around to swapping out all of the interior bulbs to LED, also the mirror puddle lights and swapped out the mirror turn signals to the sequential LED units.

Did the quickest and easiest mod I've ever done ... Installed the light sensor ordered from http://www.megazip.com on OCT 29th. Shipped from Japan Monday, arrived Wednesday. All for $52.50.
Had the blank out and the new part installed in just a few minutes.

It's possible, but I think unlikely... maybe. The vehicle only has 14K miles on it (23K kms) and spends every parked minute in a covered/heated garage. I understand the paint on the Super White is kinda crappy given the recall so it's possible.
The front half of the fenders have PPF on them and there doesn't appear to be any difference in color between the PPF'd portion and the non-PPF'd portion.
What makes me think that it's not discoloration is the picture attached. That's one of the beams where the hood scoop insert goes into so you can see the actual color of the hood. I dabbed two touch up paint pens on the beam just to see why I was given two different paint pens by the dealership.
The top dot of touch up paint is the Super White II 040 which has an off-white/yellow'ish tinge to it. The dot of touch up paint on the bottom is the Super White 040 which is what the hood is painted in (and it really closely matches the hood color).
So, that spot test kinda gives it away for me.

Finally made room for her in the garage at our new house
Yes I know she's dirty, she's been living outside with no garage for about 6 months :nono:

Had a 15K mi service today, the tech was asking about my add on TPMS that shows press/temp, then we talked about the onboard air compressor, the setup I have for airing up & down, the front camera, the ICS Fab mount and what I carried on it while off road. Great guy, very friendly, and enthusiastic about the vehicles he works on.
After finishing up running errands, and having had a great back and forth with [MENTION=148378]Crikeymike[/MENTION] over PMs on what kind of setup I would need to get for my planned use & future mods, I ordered my Dobinson's IMS system & rear airbags from Exit Offroad. I already have my FN f(x) Pros, so once the kit is installed I'll get the tires and be riding on 33s finally.
My factory TRD Pros (and Nitto TerraGraps) will be going onto my wife's 3rd gen Taco, a Barcelona Red 19 TRD OR, that I did the TRD Pro grill upgrade and got rid of the chrome on her rear bumper last weekend (it already had all the emblems blacked out from the dealership). She's already looking forward to it and hinting that she may need a lift or level for hers, because my factories are 1in taller than hers. LOL

Starting simple, new owner - built a small, carpeted platform in my '21 SR5 Pre to level out the interior for camping. Took it out over the weekend, was worried after my wife woke up Sat morning less than thrilled, only to realize I had focused on leveling front to back, not so much left to right, so she spent the night hugging the passenger door, oops (I thought the back was amazingly roomy that night). Fixed that, she woke up Sun very happy and well rested, so our first mini-outing was a success, now to start building on that....
