The RNS-Es do have a slightly different surround colour to the D2 plastics. Not enough for it to bother me, but I know some have used Kiwi boot polish to darken it, or you could try some gel style bumper black treatment?
To me the older RNS-E look to have black plastic, I don't remember noticing any difference when looking at Sergey's car.
Perhaps you mean the newer units which are clearly lighter and grey in colour as can be seen by ebay photos?
I can't imagine needing to boot polish an already black plastic, or for that matter anything in the car. Not exactly a fitting finish for a D2.
Perhaps matching the colour and airbrushing would be more acceptable.

Have a look at Ian's post 14 in this thread, the unit is pretty much identical in colour. Only maybe the finish is a tiny tiny shade more matt than RNS-D. That's not going to bother me.
