Default Bumper Replacement Question

A while ago, my car got bumped into by someone parking, and left the back bumper cover pushed in. I popped it out, and was left with a scuff on the back of the cover, and some ripple/scratch marks where the bumper folded on top. I've been dealing with it up until now, but it has finally gotten to me and I am considering buying a new bumper cover (because it is cheaper than getting this one fixed and repainted).

My question is that if I get a new one off of newtakeoff.com, will the paint match up 100%, or will I be able to notice that it's a new one due to the difference in color from one being 2 years / 25k miles old? I'm hoping that it would be a good match, but hopefully someone who has gone this route can give me some guidance for the matter. Thanks.

You should have no problems with the new bumper cover matching!

Newtakeoff had my front bumperatmy doorstep the next day.

As for install, takes about an hour maybe. Here are some directionsthat may help a great deal:
