IOM Delivery Today

Thanks Joe!

StlRomAniaN - The driving is great! Didn't do a lot because it was getting dark, started to rain and this is deer country. I will have it out tomorrow and take some more pics. For now she is tucked away in bed.

Many congratulations

You look really happy !

I dont want to go in panic mode - but is the color mismatch that obvious at front ? That seems like a very basic thing that you would really want to be right.

I agree that I want it to be right, but man I just can't imagine taking it back now LOL. Also, like I said, it will be painted black across the top so it won't show. It seems that the paint gets darker as you go down the bumper, so it matches better at the bottom. I will prolly call my dealer and go over my options

Congrats on receiving your car, sorry the paint difference is so visible. Guess no one else is going to say anything about the paint? If that was my car that would be unacceptable, I would take close but I've seen these mismatched bumpers in person. Some cars are right on, others like this stick out like a soar thumb. I've been tired of saying it it's not the angle not the lighting and not the camera. They are these vast differences in shade that really detracts from this beautiful car. I'm not whining and I'm not complaining so please stop responding that way. I and others here have been sounding the alarm for a while but no one seams to care. These are production cars not captured test fleets or dealer demos. I know the dealerships and GM seeing this should be willing to repaint the bumper to match, but we get no response and no reaction. Possibly due to having lot's of picky people out there and worried they will needlessly be painting every other bumper.

I thought it was the angle/camera also, until I saw my car today. It is very noticeable in person. I will call my dealer to see what can be done. I just don't know if I will persue it since I will be painting the part that is discolored.

Many thanks for the feedback

Once you get your "baby" I can well imagine you wont want it to go away again for any reason :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the car

All the best

From the looks of your model you will be doing the top the sides will still show some difference but it won't be as bad. The thing that is obvious not everyone is going to repaint a bran new car. I've probably seen a dozen or so production cars and several of them had this problem. Just like we've mounted other awareness campaigns here, we need to do the same so GM either gets it right at the factory or fixes the problem at the dealership level. Maybe now that we have several people that once thought as you did, we will get more attention. I'm tired of hearing that it was the lighting, or the camera, or the angle. Heck I can live with orange peal just make my panels match.

congrats...very nice car

[catmaster1]

congrats on the car. I ordered IOM as well back in mid march and i have yet to get a build week or anything. Happy for you, sad for me and all the others that ordered before me and still no car yet.

[Lectra]

I absolutely *love* your plate

[coquinn8846]

Congratz on your car it is beautiful, and i'm sure it will look awsome with custome paint. I read a lot of threads on here and this is the first time I have read about the paint issue. I ordered it the way I wanted it and have no intentions of doing custom paint so I hope mine is right. I'm not paying $40,000 for a car that doesn't have matching paint. That's just bad business.
