PUTCO 900070RB Rear Bumper Installation
Anyone with experience on installing this?
I can`t get a response from the seller, since the listing is saying "6 pieces" but the picture is generic (it seems there are 2 bumpers in the same pic and I don't believe the pieces in the pictures are the "6 pieces").
Any help will be very appreciated.

After a deeper research I could see the lower insert size in the picture is not correct.
That was what confused me ...

I am a little disappointed with the kit I received from PUTCO because the bumper is just a piece of cheap plastic. Even the original plastic lip in my current bumper seems to be better by far in quality than the bumper received.
I expected a more solid material.
Now it's in the paint shop.
I'll let you know once it's installed

Very happy with the new rear look.
There is not screws to secure the center grille to the bumper (not included in the package received but with holes for the screws on the bumper body). I could solve this with some screws that I bought (exact size).
Comes with 3 white leds in the middle of the grill. The idea is good because it gives a really cool look, but LEDs should be red instead of white (the amount of light emitted by those 3 LEDs is incredible!).
I left the LED bar connected to the rear fog light power line. I'm going to buy a red vinyl film for the LEDs to get them in red.
The bumper and accesories fitment was just perfect.
It was a 30 min job.
I wil let you see new (better) pics

Looks good now. How did you do the exhaust?

Thank you!
Well, before buying this bumper I had already made modify my exhaust (indy shop) to be "double" and symmetric. It had made a hole in my old bumper plastic edge to apply the change.
When installing this new bumper it was only necessary to align the tail pipes with the chrome holes already included
