Default Paint matching on aftermarket parts?

Just a quick question....I just received my window louvers and spoiler that were painted by Roush. My car is HP white, and is about a year and a half old. Sadly, it's my daily driver, so it's always out in the sun and rain here in Florida. Should I be concerned that my paint will have discolored enough from the factory shade that it won't match the painted parts I got? That is why I chose to get the prepainted Roush parts, figured it would be a good chance of the colors matching.

I'm gonna wash my car tomorrow and try to compare the new parts to the car paint, its kinda cloudy and rainy out so I can't get a good comparison right now. Just want an idea, I'm kinda nervous right now that there will be too much of an obvious difference.

It is amazing how well the paint weathers with just a little effort, wash, wax, polish, clay.
