We've just had our 2012 Touring about a month, and I have not noticed any colour differences between the bumpers and rest of the body.
Now I'm going to have to have a better look.

Alex's first picture really shows a difference between the bumper and body.
What Grey is that?

Our colour looks to match:

The color is Titanium Gray Metallic. Yea the front is certainly more noticeable than the rear, but they both are off a little. The rear bumper you really need to stare at to realize it is a slightly different shade. The front looks worse in pictures than in real life, so I haven't decided if I will bring anything up with the dealership yet or not. Chances are nothing will happen even if I do, so I'm not sure.

If I'm lucky, they will have some other GT's in the same color in stock for comparison purposes.

I have the same TG on the SX. Is your GT Korean or US Made? BEcause I've noticed a slight difference in the front bumper coloring. I see it in our TSX's here at work as well. Seems like the OVerseas made vehicles suffer worse from it than the US manufactured cars (at least in respects to Hondar).

Hey-all GTs here are made in Korea. My GT bumpers and gas filler door are a little off but not enough to bother me.
