The color will always look off. If it is not the dealership, I promise you, there is no way to find a perfect match. I have seen that a lot on any car that has gotten a rear bumper replaced. I did mine once on my 03 Camry I used to have. Same color like your Max and my Max now. Took it to a body shop recommended by my insurance company. When I got it back, as keen as I am about my cars, I could tell the color difference.

A freshly painted bumper, cannot exactly match the manufacturers paint that was used in 2004 on that car. Of course, even with the exact color matches from the colors paint code. Look around. Any replaced bumper, hadly ever matches 100%. If its your bumper replaced, and painted to match ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS PAINT, you will always notice a difference. But if you paint the whole car, of course you would not see the difference.
