No part is ever perfect. There will always be defects. Even my $2200 Vorsteiner trunk is an 8.5 out of 10 for fitment. I'm super anal about car parts because I've worked at Toyota. And I can see all the panel lines that the normal person cannot.

That said, the arkym bumper is what you expect. No part is ever perfect. If you want perfect then stick with OEM.

Aftermarket vendors very rarely have a meticulous QA engineer combing the parts for defects. It cost way too much for them to re-do it. At Toyota, if there was a minor gap with a fully assembled car, then they'd scrap the whole car.
