I bought a rear bumper from one of the usual vendors and found it to be quite a bit less quality than originals. I suspect yours has the same issues. The thickness of mine was pretty close to the front bumpers I have, but the edges were sharp rather than radiused. It's also not made of spring steel, as it kinked slightly as I tried installing it with original used bumper brackets, which were advertised as correct for the rear. It did fit correctly with aftermarket bumper brackets, which BTW had the same issue as the bumper with sharp edges instead of nicely radiused.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
