I believe meticulous is on Staten Island. Pm him, he probably could guide you further.

Don`t really want to bother anyone haha. Just want to see what people think about the paint on the bumper, and that smudge on the beam

Something rubs against the paint there. It looks like the sort of damage that occurs over a period of time. I`d have to see a bigger picture-shot to put it into context before I could hazard any guess past what I posited in Post#7. Sorry, I`m just not that familiar with today`s Subarus...depending on where the damage actually is, it might`ve even been from being tied down during transport (strap rubs against vehicle).

It`s on the rear bumper beam below the actual beam on a pinch weld. It`s much further back than the actual protector part of the beam. I`d say an inch or so behind it but attached

If it`s any consolation yours match better than mine do...

Eh, even with the additional info I just don`t know those vehicles well enough to be helpful (they`ve changed a lot since I had my WRX). Whatever caused it, does it bug you enough to have paintwork done?

Today is an overcast day and I sort of notice when you look directly at the rear from behind the bumper seems very cloudy in the middle compared to the trunk. But if you look at an angle it appears to be very shiny and the reflections are much clearer. Very deceiving I must say.
