The color of the paint underneath the molding looks darker than the actual color of the car, it looks as if the adhesive bled into the clearcoat or something. I could be wrong, but I just don't see your car fading that much in a few years to make that drastic of a color difference.
I am not sure exactly how to fix that, maybe find Pascal and see if he has an idea.

I feel kinda bad for suggesting you pull off the trim, but....it needed to go...it looked terrible. I would take the car to body shop and ask someone who paints cars for a living. They will know what to do.....if it cost you a few hundred bucks...it was money well spent because you are investing in mods to make your car look and perform better...but those trim moldings were holding you back...IMO

Tie a French flag to your antennae and drive around a bit, eventually he will come
Or use the Member's List or sift through a few appearance section threads. He's also a site mod so a link to his personal page should be easy to find. Actually there's a sticky about him becoming a mod at the top of the Appearance page.

The 3M tape bled through...
Here's a good example on how Tungsten Gray fades easier than most other colors on these cars. Making it a biatch to match.
Unfortunately for you, it's a repaint or.........................put that stupid molding back on.
I did get your PM, and I have the hardest time to log on since yesterday.
Yesterday was impossible for me. Today seems slightly better.
See if this post goes through...
