Sorry... but "almost" ain't good enough. If I'm going to pay $100 bucks for two pieces of plastic I want it to be Brilliant Silver. Not "it's almost Brilliant Silver close." Would you do it if it was your car?

"They looks almost identical?" 
Once again "looks almost identical" ain't close enough.
"Maybe ford just changed satin silver to brilliant silver?" Or maybe you just don't know what you're talking about? If you're one of those people where "close enough is good enough" then kudos to you but I'm not like that.
Besides I asked RPI Designs the question, not you. So what makes you an expert on silver colors and why are you butting in?
you take it easy...
Later...

It's not an argument... but I can see you don't and can't understand that. I've always had this policy that I won't get into and argument with someone who's IQ isn't at least 5 points higher than their hat size. Sorry, but I don't think you qualify. Good luck with your future. Oh yeah... punctuation is your friend, try using some.

Billiant Silver is a color that replaced Satin Silver in 2009...
They ARE different, enough when both held together its a strong difference and you could not put a Satin Silver on a Brilliant Silver car and vice versa...
Do a search on eBay for "headlight splitters". Our company sells them on there $40...You can have Maaco basecoat/clearcoat these splitters for $25 bucks.
The parts WILL NOT fall off. The reason they fall off is become some companies use silicone mold release when making there parts. Silicone mold release will retard any finish and not allow it to stick (paint, adhesives etc). WE DO NOT USE SILICONE MOLD RELEASE on our headlight splitters so adhesion to the urethane is good.
Hope this helps...

Wow, a little harsh towards someone who was trying to help you out a little bit. he may have been wrong, but everyone is wrong at some point. do you get this pissed every time someone tells you something that is wrong? absolutely no reason to call him an idiot, unless you are one of those people who have never been wrong in your life. and if that is the case, then im sorry i butted into the convo.
Second... I asked a simple question and I got my answer (finally). So let's just drop it. Okay?
