Default Aftermarket rear bumper

Anyone know anything about these aftermarket rear bumpers ? Mine has a nasty gouge in the rear left corner where someone clipped it in a parking lot prior to me owning it. Wondering if these aftermarket ones are worth the money. Estimate on mine at body shop is $500-$600 not going through insurance. Thinking if this is worth it, I'd get it for $249 and could have someone spray it my color. Any suggestions or input ?

You may run into fitment issues or may not. Oem replacement trumps all unless you went with a more reputable brand; aimgain, kbreak etc

From my experience, by the time you have it painted you'll be looking at a similar total as the repair you were quoted by the body shop and have the potential of fitment issues. If I were you I'd just have my original bumper repaired and repainted with no worries about unexpected expenses due to poor fitment.

Thanks, I agree. Just seeing what the options are, but it does make the most sense to have original bumper fixed. Thanks for the input !!

It was mbiauto.

Doesn't look like they currently list a rear bumper but you can always message them to see if they can sell you one.
