White Paint Mismatch???
Anyone else with a white CL-S notice a color mismatch between the bumpers and body? I've noticed my bumpers are a bit more beige than the body. My white '98 Accord EX-V6 does not exhibit this mismatch. Called the Acura customer service help line and the guy told me to take it to the dealer to see if it can/should be repainted. He also mentioned that most times the repaint job ends up looking worse. Any suggestions? I've gotten a close look at two other white CL-S's and one had the same problem while the other, which was a demo on the dealer lot, did not.

Welcome to this zany board.
Not the bumpers at all. However the lower rear body panels, for instance under the gas filler door seems a bit darker unless its just been washed. Other side too gets a shade darker. I think its because of its location and its material. But the bumpers, no. My bumpers are an exact match.
