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.  EDIT: By head panel, I mean the front bumper piece of the exterior. Last edited by tzhu07; 03-02-2014 at 11:09 PM. |

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.

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"....
