Did the dealer install an OEM bumper cover?

If so, I would absolutely make the match the paint.

Yeah, take it to the dealer. My Black Camaro has a different black on the bumper as well actually. But I recently had a car accident, so the Bumper is a replacement

This is most likely the result of the bumper being plastic and the rest of the car being metal. The way the paint reflects light in completely different due to the different materials.
I've never been lucky enough to examine a RJT in the sun, but it is pronounced on my IBM at the right angles when it is very bright.

I don't know... The color match on my RJT is pretty tight. Pretty tight indeed.

Yeah, you got it. I notice it on my Summit White, as well.

I have an RJT and every now and again in the sun I can see a difference...no sun it looks the same. The pictures below show that dependent on the light the car looks different.

This has been covered before. Go through the RJT picture thread for the discussion.

This is correct and the fact that they are not painted on the car or in the factory for that matter if memory serves me correctly. When mine was built a year ago, IOM, there were a number of threads complaining about the nose of the car not matching the hood, fenders, etc. I believe in one of those threads it was pointed out that the nose cone arrives at the factory already painted by the OEM.

I just recently had my stripes painted on and the Ferrari shop that painted them also pointed out that the paint did not match exactly.

The front and rear facias, also the gas door are painted from the supplier at a different time, not painted in the factory at the same time the body is painted. Because of that, you will see differences in the paint on those items, they don't match "exactly" on mine either. The differences between the doors and fenders is just the way the light reflects off the different angles of the fender.
(sorry Matster, you beat me to it)

This is dead on. My Inferno Red Charger has the same issue and I have been told by both the dealer and an exotic car body shop here that the paint is the same in color but the plastic and metal parts will not be exact. I was a little disappointed until I had my aftermarket hood painted and the fenders blended to match. Still a slight difference but does look much better.
Same as with our IBM but we love it and the difference is only noticible if you stare for a while. We do!!!!

ok so what should i do just leave it or bitch to have them match it ive already had the car for one year its number 122 off the line is wut the dealer is telling me cause i ordered it before oct 13 i put 20 gs done on the spot in september like a month before u could actuully do it yes it does all look the same till the sun hits it just right my dad said that it shouldnt matter cause i should be going fast enough that noone can tell lolz so has anyone bitched about this and the dealer pay for it to be painted?????

[superstockcam]

The mirrors too, the paint is what I was worried about when pre ordering and everything I didn't want to be wrong is... but it still kicks A$$ to have the first fifth gen year!
