White Diamond Pearl bumper/body discoloration
Anyone with White Diamond Pearl RDX's do you notice that the front and rear bumpers are same color and a little different from the body? I'll post pics later
Is this normal?
The dealer is saying its because the body is metal and the bumpers are plastic and it does happen to every car. And in the back of my head I'm like whatever.

Yes their all like that. Save yourself the frustration and time. I spoke to my dealership about it and they even had a factory rep look at it. It's not just the WDP. There was a brown colored RL next to my car when the Factor Rep was inspecting my car and he pointed out the mismatched color on the RL as well. Apparently, they know the problem exist, but choose not to correct it.

The only way to "correct" it is to make the whole car out of plastic or metal.
If you spend any time at a body shop you'd know... just sayin'.

Red Is Multicoloured as well
You know since I have noticed on my Red RDX i have been looking at other vehicles from Lexus to ford to Chev to the new Hondas. I must say that the RDX is by far the worst I have ever seen. It is literaly 2 different colours. Acura should fess up and fix the problem.
