LotusElise Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Just noticed this today. The bumper/plastic part does not match the upper half of the car. The lower part seems a bit whiter. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusElise Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 I have added a pic so to better illustrate what I am talking about. Everything below the line is a different shade of white than everything above the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 the lower cladding is painted seperatly and made of ureathane so it will produce a slightly different colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlisted Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 yes . the bumpers are made of super olefin polymer {more dent and scratch resistant} The other piece is probably just plastic. I will check out a GX and let you know for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the bumper should definitely still match the rest of the car - mine does. any link with an exchange of money is veiwed as a buisness, please do not post it again.

LotusElise Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 I just checked my GX and it does have a brake light on the spoiler, it's just blended in with the pic I posted. Can other owners who have the blizzard white paint check their cladding to see if there is a slight mismatch? I am taking my car in next week for the 5K checkup and want to know if I should flag this or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiasfinest Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 yah where is the brake light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusdr Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) yah where is the brake light? ← From your picture there is DEFINATELY no brake light where it should be. This is only significant becuase some cheaper after markets (i.e. dealer making more money) don't have this brake light any link with an exchange of money is veiwed as a buisness, please do not post it again.

LotusElise Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 Here is a pic of the brake light. Sorry for the close up but I can't open the garage door at the moment. Does the pic jive with what a factory spoiler would be like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
