Update:

Got a call back from Nissan today and they will pay for my front and rear bumpers to get resprayed.

Bad news is I have a clear bra on the front bumper that is less than 2 weeks old! Grrrr!

Nissan paid to have my sides resprayed as well. Went from about 5-6 shades off to about 1 shade, which makes me a lot happier

My plastic parts don't match the metals parts perfectly either, but you can only tell in certain lighting. Doesn't really bother me.

Yea I got my car back 3 weeks ago. The white matches perfectly, but now the pearl in the paint doesn't. Oh well.

If you guys take it back to the dealership and complain, I don't think Nissan will turn you away. I think its more of a customer service/satisfaction issue. They want to keep their customers happy.

Not sure. I took the advice of chuck and took it straight to the service manager. Snapped some photos, and three days later got a call from the serv manager that the claim was approved.

Please help what do I do guys!?

They painted mine with zEro resistance what's so ever. Maybe the service managers pictures did not come out that clear. Go at night park under street light and your car will be two tone like no other time. As long as he actualy sends them through I bet there cover it . They did for Many others.

I would also go to another dealership and try there
too.

So, I finally got a dealer to agree to paint the sideskirts, but he swears they won't look any better, maybe even worse. That's a good convincing line. What would you do, would you have them paint them, and have them maybe be even worse? It sucks that all of these PWs have this problem (slight difference in my sideskirts). If I could do it all over again, anal as I am, I wouldn't have bought the white.
