Great replacement; takes time to install
“First off, this bumper fits perfectly. The dimensions are precisely the same as OEM parts and once fit together, everything is secure with no rattles, shakes, wiggles, wobbles, or any other strange word describing loose parts that you can think of. The body lines match up the same as the original parts.The bumper cover is pre-primed with a solid matte black primer for painting; the primer is even and smooth. I can not provide information on how well it accepts paint because I personally chose to leave the bumper unpainted because it was installed on a black vehicle and the matte accent works well enough that it looks intentional.Now for the kind of annoying, time-consuming part:The bumper cover, for shipping purposes, arrives somewhat folded. It is not creased, however. You will need to work on it in a warm environment and use a heat gun or a hair dryer to evenly warm the folded portions of the plastic to manually form them back into the intended shape. This takes quite a while since you need to make sure all of the little clip attachment points are lined up with your grill, lower valance, and fender parts. It's not terrible, but it is tedious. You will need to take your time on it and definitely make sure everything lines up perfectly before you apply any paint.Overall, it's a lot cheaper than getting professional bumper cover replacement and if painted the results will look exactly the same as if a pro installed it.”
