Why hasn't the bumper paint issue been fixed
Local dealer with a 1LT RS IBM has serious paint issue's with the bumper matching the rest of the car. When i pulled up to it to take it for a test drive it stuck out like a sore thumb. Car has been on the lot over 2 weeks now. I know we have talked about this a lot but with it being a vin of 16k u would think they would have done something about this by now. I work at Toyota no way in hell a car would leave the factory like this even on a 13k corolla. With all the money they are spending on advertising to clean up there image this is not helping. Picture's say it all

Barrack told them that repaints were not allowed.

That's what worries me about the dark metallic colors that I like. I might eventually end up with silver or white....

my CGM is a 16k car and the paint matches perfect.
But, yes that does look bad.

Here comes the "it's the angle/surface/metallic" guys......
I posted a picture of the IOM and got blasted for even suggesting the paint was off. Regardless of the reason, it's unacceptable. |

The bumper covers and fuel door and mirrors are painted in a different place and time, that is what I'm told and unless you "box" the paint it will never match ever ever ever

Man...I love this Car!

I don't understand how random this is. I was really worried about my IOM, but it matches perfectly and I have vin 17873. I would be really upset about this and I feel fortunate but why is it just some of the cars and not all? Maybe they got it figured out somewhere between the 16 and 17k vins??

So you saying you would accept that kind of excuse from a dealer if u picked up your car looking like that? Its just sloppy work that QC should have never let that go through. Honda,toyota nissan dont seem to have this problem but its only a GM problem?U dont spend millions of dollars trying to clean up your image then release this kind of product. Go to a toyota or honda dealership and find me one car that looks this bad. Hope u have lots of time on your hands you'll be looking a long time.

Yes i looked at it from a thousand angle's from many distance's it looks the same no matter how u look at it. Has nothing to do with angle's light etc its just bad matching paint period.
