WTF, is the head panel of the FR-S a different color than the rest?!?!?!
 
After 6 months of owning my FR-S whiteout, I noticed that the head panel seems to be a SLIGHTLY different shade than the rest of the car.

I'm hoping it's just the lighting, my poor eyesight, and/or the different contours of the front panel that creates the illusion.

But now I can't shake it. From some angles it clearly looks different, and other times it looks seemless.

:slap:

EDIT: By head panel, I mean the front bumper piece of the exterior.

What is a head panel?

Hmmm... You mean Dashboard maybe?

I'm assuming you are talking about the front bumper? If so, yes it will be slightly off color because it's plastic vs sheet metal.

I'm thinking he means the headlights aka head panel

Oh boy

Head panel. You know...the head panel.

This threads title should be "WTF is a head panel?"

Cause I think OP is only one that knows or has a special name for
"Something"....

sounds to me like he is talking about the difference in color between the metal hood and plastic front bumper.

op are you from britanland or something? do you call parking lots "car parks" too?

Yes, that's what I mean. I'm sorry sometimes I don't use proper terms when describing things.

Yes, that's what I mean. Is there a color difference? I can't really tell because if it is there, it's an incredibly small difference that you wouldn't notice if you're just casually going about your day.

And no, I'm American and I live in Seattle. I must have had a brain fart or something when typing "head panel".

I tried doing that, but it only let me edit the body.
