2017 TRD bumper with preface lift parking sensor

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I've already placed an order with fensport for the v2 TRD rear bumper as seen below. My car has the (i believe factory) reverse sensors, now that im looking at the pictures of my car i'm guessing i'll need to either get them moved higher up or buy a 2nd hand bumper and fit new sensors?

Has anyone else tried or seen that this works without modification?

Hey, did you mount the V2 TRD Rear Bumper without problems and without moving your factory parking sensors? I'd like to buy the same bumper but I have the same question about reverse sensors.

Hello mate, yes there was no problem with the reverse sensors. I think there is a slight fitment issue with the non 2017 rear bumper (i think the bottom bit near the fog lamp is lightly different) 

It did go on ok, but it wouldnt sit completely flush against the bottom, there is about a 1cm gap. same with the area i circled, we couldn't get the bumper to mould around this area flush either but i think thats again due to the bottom bit maybe touching something .This could have been to maybe not cutting enough of the factory bumper, but we couldn't see where it was touching and being prevented

Overall its not that bad though, i will have a bodyshop try and heat it up and clamp the order with some super adhesive glue.

Thanks for the super fast reply! It's nice that there aren't problems with reverse sensors (hoping that all the factory sensors are installed at the same height). Mine look like a bit lower than yours(?).

I have a 2017 86 so maybe It'll fit slightly better. I'll comment again when (and if) I'll mount it!
