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