I'm looking at a 2006 Accord Sedan SE which is Royal Blue Pearl. I love the car. It drives great.But, the rear bumper is scratch on the right rear. They tried to buff it out and, of course it's no suprise that, they actually made it worse. The scratches are mostly gone, but paint is now 'foggy'.They have offered to swap rear bumpers with an EX V6 to deal with the issue. I said no, thinking that the entire car was painted as a whole and, while the colors might be named the same, there might be some slight difference causing it to stand out.This doesn't even address the damage they would probably cause just doing the swap.Anybody think I should let them do the swap? I really do like the car.PJ

Let them do the swap and then decide if you're happy with how the colours match up between the body panels.Brian

Should I let dealer swap bumpers on new Accord?

I pointed out the VIN sticker issue. Nobody ever thinks that far ahead. Chip
