It looks a shade off compared to the rear bumper
The rear bumper typically doesn't match from the factory! Ours didn't!

Look at the front bumper too. Didn't paint anything on the front. I think the bumpers are normally a little bit off due to the flex agent that is added to the paint.

Default wide body color difference

Rear and front bumpers are not sprayed at the same time at factory as the body. That is why they never match perfect
