    In trying to order this TRD Front Spoiler / Side-skirt combo and I’m wondering if anyone may have an answer to this.

    Was there just a change in names? Or was it a whole new tone or color? They both look identical to me so I just wanted to see if anyone may know the answer to this. I’ve searched and searched and can’t find anything. But maybe someone does.

    The reason I ask is because I can order those parts painted or unpainted. I wanna see if anyone may have more experience and actually know the differences.

    Your best bet is to find the paint code on your car. I'm not sure where it is on Prius, but probably on some placard under the hood...

    Both paint codes are different. But like I said, to me they look the same. So I’m confused if it’s just a name change or if they actually said, “let’s add more sparkle to 2021” lmao. Because they seriously look identical. At least next to each other they do.

    Paint codes are on sticker in driver's door frame, with the VIN and build date.

    Well usually if the paint code is different, then it's a different colour; whether your/our eyes can detect the changes is a different matter.

    Wind Chill Pearl is 089
    Blizzard Pearl is 070

    Try ToyotaNation and see if anyone there knows. I haven't seen Wind Chill Pearl up close so I can't say but sure, in the photos, it looks nearly identical to Blizzard Pearl but again, if it was, they would've used the same number between the two names. Because they didn't, I suspect the combination of ingredients are different.
