white kizashi owners, does your car have color difference?

Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

I recently noticed that there is color difference between my front, rear bumper and the car body. I have a white kizashi and the color difference is quite noticeable. Is it just my car or does this happen to all the white kizashi? thanks

its prevalent on most white automobiles, just some turn out better than others. if it bothers you bring it back to the dealership and get them to do something about it, maybe a respray or something. but its from the plastics reflecting light differently from the metals of the body. its normal but not really acceptable? if you get what i mean. should probably have mentioned it in the pre-delivery checks. but yeah if it bothers you bring it to the dealers attention, they may offer a respray.

I agree, yet its prevalent on most any color automobile no matter the builder. Again some are better then others. Example my white 07 Saturn you have to look hard to see a difference if you can at all. Neighbors white 07 328i looks like it's been repainted by a blind man front and rear. My wifes IceBlue Kizzy .. the front is a match the rear is not.

Haven't noticed a clear difference, but I'll look closer next time we have a sunny day and the car is not covered in dirt and salt. :-)

it is a normal thing that happens to the plastic bumpers
i had in my previous acura and my wife has it now on her Chevy
down here in Miami the difference accentuates even more with time due to the strength of the sun

I must be getting blind... I can barely spot any difference (white water pearl metallic also)

I, however, always have the car shiny, so it is harder to spot differences :P

As the other have mentioned, differences in "look" between the plastic bumpers and the sheet metal are practically inevitable. Plastic and metal behave different to the paint, not to mention the difference is process by the bumpers suppliers and Sagara's paint shop. The paint will be the same, Suzuki will have the paint supplier work will the color matched parts suppliers (bumpers, outside mirrors) but the base material and the paint process will not be the same.
