The reason your bumpers don't match is because they are not painted the same time the body of the car is painted. The process for painting bumper covers differs slightly. A different primer is used along with a flex additive to prevent it from cracking on slight impacts.

Mine used to be like that, till I got the car repainted. My car was originally evergreen and the bumper was some funky looking green color. Now they match.

Mine's different too. I think the Sterling Mist is the most noticable. I always get asked, "did you get in an accident?" People notice it enough to assume I had my bumper replaced and had a crappy paint job done.

I would love to get it painted electron blue (Civic Si/IS300) or garnet, but I can't afford to drop 3 g's on paint, let alone anything else.
