ALL Pearl White Owners - Please Check In!
 

Wassup fellas! I purchased the Z about 4 weeks ago and when I looked at the car, I noticed the rear bumper color was considerably off. The side skirts and front bumper were a bit off too but not bad. I brought it up to the sales guy and he said its how they come from factory and b/c the bumper is plastic. So i shrugged it off and still bought the car. I came aboard here and read a few threads that this is a common problem among PW Z's. I made an appointment this week to bring it up with Nissan to see if they can respray the parts. I'll keep you guys updated. So if you have a Pearl White Z check in and report if your bumpers match the car!

I would defiantly not let that fly. Bumper was probably replaced. Or even worse the car could have been in a minor collision.

Whoa! I'm usually pretty bad at pics, but that's an obvious difference. Take it back!

Wow that's so...bad. I honestly wouldn't have accepted it and would've asked to check out another on the lot to compare.

my Z's rear bumper paint is off but not that bad.

Mine definitely does not look like that. You better take that back!

My bumpers are fine, but the side skirts are off a bit... i believe there is a long on going thread about this, if you want more input.

mine is pretty off like that too but i already put on the clear bra so didn't want to deal with it and take up my time. It bothers me from time to time but i think i can live with it. I bought the car at night so i didn't really notice. You can notice it on certain angles and lighting. You can't really notice the difference from far away or really close up. You might notice it 5 feet away. Check out my album if you want to see mine.

Same over here. I can live with it as long as it doesn't get worse. As for the OP's bumper...that's way too major of a difference. I would take it back...and raise hell if they didn't accomodate to fix it.

Just bring it in! They will respray it, it's obviusly not acceptable. Read my thread on this ,
mine looked the same way!

man i'd be mega pissed if my rear bumper was that off...

definitely the rear bumper was replaced.

my friend has a PW and thats not the color on his bumper.

i think the car was rear-ended when someone testdrove it or someone bumped into it in the car lot.

those are odd things to see. I wonder why Nissan is having weak paint once again. I really do like everything but the paint...

I've seen some off paint, but that's worse than I've ever seen :shakes head:

Grab some day shots at different angles too plz

thats about how far off my side skirts are. no, the bumper wasn't replaced, they are painted at different times with different batches of paint and a different type of surface being painted, which is what causes the variance in color.
