Default Suzuka Blue Owners...

I have a dilema... does any owner of a Suzuka Blue noticed a slight variation in color between the bumpers and the body? At least on mine, using street lights, seems that the bumper is 'purple' colored, while the body is 'blue'... I am just baffled about this, and I hope that this is not a deffect!!!

Does anyone noticed the same?

The plastic on the car will look a little different color, because the paint doesn't adhere the plastic the same way it does to metal.

Mine does the same thing. You can't see it unless your under the right type of light.
Don't worry about it.

Yeah, I noticed it too, particularly in my garage (i.e. articficial, particularly flourescent, lighting). I think it's the inevitable result of the same metallic paint being applied to two very dissimilar materials.

... phew... and I though I had gotten a lemon... It is pretty tough to look at my S2K at my garage at night, and wonder about the differentiation of the colors... wished that Honda could put little more R&D on this to solve that... Just think the engineers at Honda never turned on any yellow light at night while working on the Suzuka Blue...
