Finally washed my '05 WDP w/ '07 Rear Bumper

The weather finally got nice here in Upstate New York so I gave my ride the wash she’s been waiting for. Sorry for the bad location but by the time I got somewhere nicer she was covered in brown water spray from the melting snow.

It’s an ’05 with the ’07 Base Rear Bumper and the ’07 TL-S Taillight and Side Marker conversion.

Next on my list is a drop and clearing the headlights.

Is it just me, or in the 3rd pic does it look like the paint is a lot brighter on the back? Or is that from the "brown water spray from the melting snow" making the rest of the car darker? I'm from FL, and we don't see too much snow around here.

I think the bumper cover itself (unpainted) was about $275. I didn't pay for it though. I was involved in a minor rear end collision where I was sitting at a red light, so the other parties insurance company paid for everything. I figured I would update to the '07 bumper since I liked the grill and it wouldn't cost anything extra.

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to, it might be just the camera angle. I am actually very pleased with the color match on the new bumper if that is what you were talking about. And these pictures were right at the car wash so there was no dirt yet
