search this forum for tape marks on bumpers (or any other PT forum for that matter, lots of threads on this topic everywhere!). then you will see all the misery that this problem has caused many owners (myself included). i had mine replaced and painted without any hassle, but i am one of the lucky ones. was told by dealer that this was caused at the factory during the painting process, and that is why if you get the bumpers replaced with the same style gray ones, the tape marks will eventually reappear. so paint them, cover them, or replace them. really the only solutions. rumor is a TSB will be announced to fix? cross your fingers. good luck!
