2017~2024 Anyone purchased bumper trim and can confirm what it’s made of?

I received front and rear OEM bumper trim purchased from an eBay seller. The price was good, but not too good to be true.

I am concerned about its authenticity because it feels like cheap plastic. I was under the impression the trim was made of metal but can’t find any details online.

Does anyone have these trim pieces and can confirm what they’re made of?

I could never understand why I can't find one that's made for the top of the bumper that also wraps around the back edge of a little bit.

Not sure of the style you are looking for.. and I'm sure you have browsed through the knowledge sharing document resource .. searching "bumper"

I saw one on the Walmart web site that looked like it wrapped around but it looked like black plastic.

Just a heads up Walmart.com shows results for 3rd party sellers inline with their own products.

example this one for a GEN2:

Sold & shipped by TMB MOTORSPORTS, Inc.

this is not bad in itself, but Walmart is not known to come to aid of consumers like Amazon - most times with 3rd party sellers on Walmart.com you are on your own.

side note.. Walmart tried to compete against Amazon.. and well...

sure they are spinning it as a win.. but we all know the truth.

Thanks. Don't know why I didn't see some of those. I'm definitely looking to one that goes down ahta small amount over the back lip. Prefer all black> I like the one from Sportwing listed above. It says 2013 - 2020. Is that right? The 2017-2020 has the same bumper as the 2013? I like the Ebay one

I have seen a couple of vendors list the GEN1 & GEN2 bumper protection as the same.. but I am not 100% sure this is really the case. I would reach out directly to Sportwing to see if they can clarify.
 
I have the oem on my cx5 2nd gen - front and rear. Can confirm its plastic as it was mentioned :)
except visual styling, its not really worth the price they ask for oem

Question: The product description states > *Excludes models with power liftgate.
Does it work with the powerliftgate??

You want to read this thread:
 
I contacted the vendor of the one listed above. He confirmed that it is not designed, or guaranteed to work with power liftgate. I believe it's because it's thicker and won't let the gate close fully, dunno?

thanks for checking!
 
I have a feeling the issue with the power liftgate might be something to do with a sensor. I don't see why it would have any different dimensions.

I wonder if the sensors' settings could be changed?

The one hal2 got or the one on walmart's web site curl around the edge.

I purchased a rear bumper protector for my 2017 that was advertised for both gen1 and 2. It did not fit. The bumpers curve differently (different radiuses). I had to order one specifically for 2017-2020.

I'm pretty sure that it's the thickness. That is, there is resistance as the trunk closes before it's fully down.
