Does this rear bumper look to be a different paint shade? or is it just paint looks different on plastic than metal or maybe just the pic? Car has 11k on the ticker.

I just realized that every white Mustang looks the same.

Mustang_Scotty,

Welcome! You're looking at the best color for a Mustang right there!

You're correct: this is a known issue (it's an issue if the difference is really obvious). My little garage queen lives a sheltered life so the paint on the bumpers still looks very close to the fenders. But I have seen other white Mustangs rolling around and the bumper-fender color difference is not very noticeable. For the Mustang in the picture, I would see if a light buffing (by you, your detailer, your bodyshop) would bring back the bumper color some. That Mustang looks mighty clean!
