On the first edition PT's the bumpers were unpainted. To protect the bumpers the factory put plastic sheets over the bumper using tape. The tape left a residue that showed up a few months later. At one time it was covered under warranty, not sure if it is still covered.

Yeah - my bumpers are un-painted. No 'tape marks' of any flavor are on my bumpers...front or back!

did the tape marks reappear on both or just the replaced one? ive seen repalcement bumpers have this problem too. if the painted bumper had the marks reappear, then the prep wasnt done thuroughly(sp?) enough. i havent seen one bumper that has been painted properly reappear.

From the Net:
![]() The tape "sucked" some sort of UV protection from the bumper or it's a kind of chemical reaction between the "glue" from the tape and heat from oven when they "bake" the fascia paint. Or a mix of both. Even the engineers @ Daimler-Chrysler don't really know for sure. So go figure what happen after lots of sunny days. Luckyly, mine is Touring Edition with painted bumpers.
