It's common for bumpers to not match.

1. They are made from different material causing the paint to look different.

2. Many times these bumpers are painted off site then shipped to the manufacturing plant for installation. You'll never get a 100% match when parts are painted in different facilities.

FWIW, my 09 with 8000 miles has never been in an accident, has never had a repair, and all of the plastic parts (front/back bumper, and side sills) are slightly different in colour than the sheet metal on th car.

I would suggest you take your car to another bodyshop for inspection, If you are really concerned about it.
