Buying a used rear bumper: what to check

  1. Inspect for previous repair filler. Thick paint or ripples signal a prior hit.
  2. Verify sensor cutouts match your trim's park-assist configuration.
  3. Confirm the paint code if you want to skip repainting.
  4. Check that the yard includes mounting hardware; clips are often broken during removal.
