Ugh! What is going on?! (Paint Related)
Left - Driver's Side
Right - Passenger's Side
The picture pretty much explain it. Appears to be masking tape that was removed after painting. I faced the same thing with the 2006 Civic I just traded in! And I found those bumpers were repainted between the time it arrived at the dealer and when i picked it up. Are my TL's front bumper repainted too?! Could someone verify if they have the same marks are theirs? I recall they paint the WHOLE bumper at the factory, I doubt it would be neccessary to use masking tape. They only use masking tape at body shops, where they repaint stuff... I hope those are caused by normal factory procedures and not a repaint. I will be having a word with the dealer most definitely if this proves to be repaint.

You want my opinion?
The area under the tape has no color other than the plastic of the injection mold. So it tells me it was never painted prior to that. I don't think it was repainted but hey you never know.
Don't let it bother you.

I'll deal with it later. No one sees it anyways.

My 06 WDP has this as well under the front bumper. Doesn't matter to me since no one see's it or cares.

The coating under the front bumper isn't fully cleared either and that area that isn't masked is smooth to the painted part. It won't start peeling so I wouldn't worry.
