    I measured my buddy's factory bumper gaps on his '12. His was 1/4" (1" vs. my 1.25") closer between the tail light and bumper.
    His was 1/2" (1.75" vs my 2.25")closer between tailgate and bumper. I feel a lot better that stock is that far apart as well.

    As you can see from all the pictures in this thread, fit and finish are not qualities one should associate with these bumpers.

    Honestly, ANY time you deal with aftermarket parts and factory fitment - they NEVER work. Honestly, for the price of these bumpers... I'm not surprised is something custom needs to be fabd' up...

    Yeah, that's more like stock than mine is. I talked to them today about receiving my replacement front bumper. I told them about the rear but said 'F' it and I'm just going to fix it myself. Worst case scenario, I'll weld their holes shut and drill new ones exactly where I want them. Thanks for the pics!!!

    LoL, I'm speaking out of generality - the front bumper lined up perfectly for me. In the past, I've bought some pretty high end aftermarket parts for my bike and even though you pay for quality, some bolt holes didn't line up perfectly...

    Just ordered the front. Called and talked to them about it and they knocked 5% off. Fingers crossed it makes it across the country without getting raped by fedex.

    I've yet to see one arrive 100% intact. Expect either dents or, at the very least, the powder coat to be screwed up in multiple places.

    Here's one arrived safely no damage I lucked out. The mark was my handy work dragging it across the box scraped the hardware I opened.

    Well, I feel like a douche. My buddy who helped me install my rear was told to "lift up and pull the bottom out as hard as you can while I tighten the bolts". He clearly did not do that. I just loosened the bolts and the bumper didn't drop any. Put a jack under it and jacked up and towards the rear. It now sits exactly like @anthony250f bumper. I'm amazed it was able to move that much with the holes being the size they are. Having said all that, I'm now happy with the rear bumper and think it's a best bang for your buck!!! Sorry for the confusion and I'm going to slap the shit out of my friend when he gets here in a few minutes for me to weld some jerry can holders onto his Heep.

    Awesome! I did the same thing and mine looked similar, then I broke out the jack.
