I just had mine installed on my PWP and to me the color looks a hair off..... Has anyone noticed this? Should the color fade eventually like the rest of the car?

The PWP does have some discoloring. Its due to the pearl color effect. Its the hardest color to paint to match. I installed my oem lip one month after I got my car and the color was off as well.

Cant do too much about it

The lip is also Poly-Urethane I believe so that is going to be a factor as well.

I would do what narci suggested... clay bar to take all of the excess dirt off then it SHOULD match.

Claybar and zaino doesnt do crap in getting the color back. i clay my car once a yaer and zaino a few times a year. The pearl white color will fade esp when its outdoors in contact with the sun.

He is right...its the fact that the urethane will give off a slightly diff hue on any car with any color. I work at a Scion/Toyota dealership as a salesman and I see this on almost every car that has a urethane lip kit or urethane bumpers...its more noticeable on white cars or darker colored cars from what I have seen....silvers and black arent as noticeable
