I wont say specifically what just yet because i wanna see if anyone notices it too on their own but what i will say is that i am aware that thats an afermarket bumper. Thats not what im talking about here that looks off.

So someone else sees it too.. :/ i thought it had finally found the perfect g. Is there any cheap way to fix it?

its X coupe with an IPL bumper - the color is going to vary by some degree of shade.

Is there anyway to fix it? Is it super noticeable

Have you seen the car in person? Sometimes it isn't nearly as bad in person. Hell, most brand new cars have a slight mismatch on the front bumpers.

No. Id have to pay $450 to have it transferred to a carmax in my state... I dont know if i should take that risk

So in your opinion would that be even more reason to have it transferred over here?

Looks fine to me could jus be the camera makes it look like that. Dark grey is hard to really screw up Or be noticeably off in person

Seems like a new IPL bumper without foglight inserts. The paint doesn't seem to match. The paint could look this way due to it being new or an off color code. What I would look into is if the IPL bumper is oem or made by some off brand like Duramax

Paint on plastic and metal is never perfect match even on new cars

Yep, when I got my damaged sport bumper replaced with an OEM the paint was slightly off with the rest of the car

I added that bumper and it was a perfect match for me.

Also mine is a 2010 right next to Norwood. How much were they asking for?

I don't even see how that car made it to carmax's inventory...

The paint match, shaded tail lights.

It can be corrected with a proper paint blend. People saying it will never be perfect is somewhat true, but to this degree? It should have matched a lot better than what was done. I wouldn't waste the money or the effort on that car.
