Its like nissan didnt bother to match the bumper with the rest of the carI dont think black is like that but I could be wrong

 

the front one matches.. if you made your car faster and could stop looking at the rear bumper.. you would understand








































ok so the front doesn't match ither

 

Why the front one matches and the rear doesn't, I have no idea.

Generally, when painting the flexible bumpers, the paint shop pulls the paint receipe and mixes a batch. They then add a flex agent to the batch which discolors the paint slightly. Some colors show more than others. For example, a clear coat shows comes through slightly yellowed.

If you have your car painted at a shop and it does not match have them paint it again. Any reputable shop should agree.

And be clear the the paint shop when you take in that you expect nothing less than it being a proper match.

 

Well, for some reason when I got my 97+ front and rear bumper, they painted both at the same time. I put them on and guess what, just as you stated the front bumper matches perfectly, but the rear doesn't. So I have no clue what is up with it, but its all good. Hopefully it will fade in the future when it gets warm and sunny out, so it might end up matching later. If I am lucky.

 

off colored

 

mine match perfectly, though neither is original

 

my bumpers faded.. I had the rear repainted last summer, i'm repainting the front this spring. (Superblack 97 SE)

 

my car is black and only 4 years old, so it still matches perfectly

but there are too many light colored 4th gens that do not match at all

 

It's true, it's true, it's all true! I've been living a Pebble Beige lie. Damn you Maaco! Damn you to hell!

 

ah man.. yeah.. your sig pic.... damn it's very noticeable from certain angles

 

my interior is off color. Look @ the steering wheel & that place that hides the passanger airbag

 

My airbag cover is a different color also, I don't have any pics of it though.

Thanks, Nissan.

 

That's why I'm such an anti-Maaco post *****. The paint is of really bad quality also, it's beginning to bubble in places and there's a lot of overspray in back of the bumper.

 

My rear bumper faded because my car is just too damn fast. (If only that were true )

 

Your steering wheel and passenger airbag color is really off...you sure your car wasn't in an accident before u got it and both air bags deployed?

 

My bumpers match.

 

not that I know of, got the car when its 16km

 

mine front and rear faded tooo and my airbage on passenger side is faded too

 

yep.. me too and I have seen numerous other 4th gen Maximas with tan interiors also mismatched passanger side air bag covers Mine is mismatched now because I swapped out my entire dashboard ( never will I do that again) but my stock one was pretty close.. the reason this one mismatches probably is because I got a dashboard from a 96, and put it in my 98, the freaking brown is a slightly different shade Nissan was definately smoking something when they were picking dye's and paints..
