you're bumper has probably been repainted!!!

haha just kidding.. This is a known problem for the TLs in WDP.... i have a 06 WDP and it does the same thing (more of a yellow tint compared to the rest of the car).. it was annoying when i first got the car but i dont care for it anymore. The front bumper doesnt match either.. but it's a lot less noticeably.

hope that helps

If the front bumper matches the body color, it's been repainted as both front and rear are mismatced from the factory.
Only way to correct is to repaint, but you had better get a good shop as they will need to do test patterns to match the pearl before they spray. I had the front (WDP) repained years ago because a fellow sctrached the passenger side when the wife was driving. Matches perfectly, but the only dumb thing is that I didn't have the rear repainted at the same time, just didn't want to spend the $700.

Here's a some reading:
