Bumpers - check out the color
just noticed today my suv has slightly different color bumpers than the rest of the body. Color is starfire pearl. The bumpers look a tad yellowish compared to rest of body. Anyone else with this issue? Probably will report it to lexus. The color variation is very subtle, but its there. If i noticed it, how many others would? Guys technically are blind, and i noticed

Also it may happened as well, that you truck was repaired at destination port to factory specs. When I got my BMW in Munich (European delivery program), I have spoke with the shipping company and they have mentioned that a % of cars get damaged during shippment and get repaired at the port.
I think you may be dealing with the first scenerio since you have a more complex color.

Color variations happen on every vehicle made and Lexus is no exception when crossing substrates. It's more noticeable on some colors than others but basically speaking, the same color mix will appear different on plastic (the bumper) than metal (the body). Metallic paints help or accentuate the variations.
Manufacturers will try and limit the cross over points as much as possible and also try to not have flush meeting points where substrates change. This helps somewhat hide the visual differences that will naturally occur.
