No discoloring/mismatch bumper vs fender or 1/4 panel here either, and not on my Max either which is 6.5 yrs old.

Pearl White (QAB) is the paint code in question, and it is a known issue unfortunately. It has to do with how the paint works on metal vs plastic.

I see a very very slight difference with my front bumper, but I think that's more because I actually look for it sometimes.

yah, i had a diamond white pearl car in the past and being a picky guy that i am i noticed differences between the sheetmetal and plastic color too. it's basically due to not being painted at the same session. the metallic particles are not oriented the same way so the light reflection is different.

but this is also pretty obvious on my silvers too. like my 370z' hatch silver is different in some lighting conditions vs the roof. or the gas cover appears a different silver vs quarter panel, etc in different lighting conditions.

SRS BSNS

A contraction of 'Serious Business', popularly used among the Red vs Blue forums, as well as various other ports of call around the internet.

It's main use is mocking, when someone takes the internet too seriously or takes a joke too seriously, people will often remark on how it is "srs bsns".

Teh internets is srs bsns

I was mocking the Audi calling it a sedan basically.
