Below is a picture of my front bumper. The one issue I have after the purchase is that the lower lip is a bit more scratched up then I like. It seems to me that buying and installing the ap2 front lip would cover it up.

I'm wondering what people think of the paint matching. Its an 04 with 18K miles on it, do you think the paint has worn enough that I would have to do more to match the paint?

 

I got a lip just last summer and had it painted and it matched my car (2002) just fine.

 

get a lip it'll look nice and some bumper plugs too, looks like doug has a twin now

 

You should be fine but if its really off you can have a shop blend the bumper for you.
