yeah when you match it up the factory plastic looks darker red. i mean its going to be almost completely covered with graphics. i was just curious if some other plastic color matched better

Sounds like you got the euro version of the honda plastics, for the 2011/12 euro models honda blanked off the air vents and added a huge muffler to comply with noise restrictions. We have the Euro Hondas here in NZ, so lots of guys change out the side panels with 2010 models (which have the vents) and fit after market pipes to help the bike breathe again.

You should use Polisport OEM replacement plastics. It's cheaper, better looking colors and tough.

CYCRA is the best plastic you can get for all purposes.
