I got a set from Ben also. Agree with other posts: great packaging and looking forward to installing them.

I wanted to add some info for 2011 owners. The rear bumper-skin inserts are secured by 4 push fasteners on each side. They're relatively easy to get to, with the forward pins being a bit harder as they are behind the muffler heat shield.

The rim on the holes were flared outward, so I used a razor-blade to shave them flush. This allowed a nice flat surface for the new chrome pieces to adhere to.
