Well this turned into the proverbial S$*tshow.

The dealer is also saying the sensors dont really attach right on the outer edges so they are not flush with the bumper... and on top of that they ran the calibration that way.

Im just sitting here shaking my head.
Never do business with them again.... thats for sure.

I guess Ill be doing the re-work on this. =)

Did the bumper come with bezels to mount the sensors? I had plastic bumpers front and rear, and I'm pretty sure the bezels are different than the modular bumper bezels. I don't know about the capable bumper bezels though.

You are correct. They are different. I replaced my capable bumper with mod. I needed four bezels and two angled-connector sensors.

All I know is that Ford says the kit has everything needed for install with the sensors.
Its literally on the kits description.

@Rumbloki - Do you have the part numbers that you had to order?
I came from a capable bumper too.

My bumper was free, but it was missing the plastic covers around the recovery points. The four brackets were needed for the sensors. The sensors I ordered from amazon didn't work. The ones that did work are NU5Z-15K859-DG. Maybe your sensors aren't flush because they don't fit (not angled). There is limited space behind two of the sensors.
