What to check before you buy
Facelift vs pre-facelift
Mid-cycle refreshes change bumper and grille mounting even within the same generation. Match by build date, not just year.
Sensor and camera cut-outs
Parking sensors, radar and 360 cameras all need the correct apertures — a blank bumper cannot be retro-drilled cleanly.
Primed vs painted
Primed parts need paint and blending. Factor that into the quote before comparing prices.
