PW Bumpers turning Yellow?

Anyone else notice this?

The paint on metal is fine, but the bumpers, especially the rear, seems yellow to me (1 year later, stored over the winter, babied). I know the rear bumper could use a good clay bar, but still.

The wifes white Hyundai - her plastic door handles are yellowed compared to the rest of the car. It almost looks as though the top layer of clearcoat is hazing over. Granted, she parks it practically all day in the sun (I try to teach her these things, but...she's not a car person.) I don't think a claybar is going to help my situation, but hopefully it will with yours.

Good luck!

I would get them to repaint your bumpers if you can see any yellow at all.

Mine was yellow from the factory. I've replaced both the front and rear bumpers though so I don't have to worry about it anymore. And if anyone's thinking about repainting theirs, it's VERY hard to match the white.
Here's a pic from about 3 months after I got the car. The second pic is just an enlargerment. You know if it'll show up in a picture, it was real obvious in person.

You can't match the color exactly because there are two differnt materials involved the body/the bumpers thats why I'm told the bumpers looked just off a smidge from day one .

Actually, mine match pretty darn good now that they've been repainted.
