Question WRB vinyl?

So I finally came across a cheap oem v2 sti limited lip...but the problem is my car is WRB and the lip is JPB. Anyone know of a site that sells vinyl wrap in WRB or really close to match? Thanks

Can't get spray paint through the mail I think :-\
I'm in Japan with the yen rate being crap and paint/labor is spendy here, so I was thinking of vinyl

Sure you can. I've ordered tons of it for my caddy.

Just get it painted. I don't think anyone does a vinyl that matches even close.

Or wrap it in CF vinyl.

JapanPost banned all aerosol paints in packages a year or 2 ago. This is incoming and outgoing. No more spraycans no matter what the size or quantity. I believe the only way it is allowed is if you ship via boat which from Tokyo to the US takes forever.

Put a huge damper on those of us who use the fancy Japanese hobby products.

Not entirely true. I did get some plasti-dip through the mail earlier in the year I used to black out my silver interior trimmings on the dash. Sometimes it just slips through the cracks and I know it didn't come by boat because I got it in roughly 1.5wk where by boat its 2mo almost.

Probably easier getting it in I suppose. Getting it sent here is a flat out no it seems.

Good luck!!
