Default New 2012 GX 460 owner - troublespots

Excited to say I'm a owner of a new to me 2012 GX 460 owner. Bought used from private seller for what I think was a good price. Only issue I saw was that their was some rear bumper damage. I'm looking online and see there are rear bumper covers and rear bumper covers with parking assist sensors. I know my gx 460 has parking assist, so I'm guessing the ones with parking assist sensors are necessary? Just trying to make see if the sensors are actually built into the rear bumper cover or if you can take them out of the old ones and install them on the new bumper covers without parking assist sensors. Any ideas?

Are you buying new or used? Generally, with most cars, "with parking sensors" just means "for vehicles equipped with the option" so the holes are already there. Most of the time they won't come with the actual sensors. If you buy one "without" it generally means there aren't any pre-drilled holes.

The parking sensors are removable, you can take them off the current bumper cover and install them on the new cover.
