I just read the write-up.... And I have also searched.

Can someone clarify this for me?

I am doing an OEM rear M-tech bumper swap..

What additional parts do I need?

-Right and left bumper supports?
-Do I need the Center support?
-Do I need the battery cover?
-Can I re-use all my push pins and bolts?

If you're getting an OEM M-tech (brand new) from a dealer or reputable vendors, then all parts should be included.

I just did this recently, you need all the parts above if they arent supplied with the bumper. Regarding the pushpin, i bought a pack of 10 because you will need to break some of them to get them off. Lastly, the only bolts i needed were the bolts and clips to secure the diffuser. When you start to fit the bumper you will see why you need those parts, esp the centre support.
