Hey guys, i have a 2018 optima S snow white pearl. My rear bumper is damaged and found a great deal on a flawless 2019 rear bumper cover. I noticed from pics i will have to make a bracket for the backup sensor module bc of the reflector location. Besides that everything looks the same. Looks like a direct swap, the 19-20 optimas just got a front and rear bumper "face lift" from what i can tell. Unless i am way off lol

Seems as the '16-'18 is the same, as are '19-'20, at least according to Kia OEM parts, and the used car parts catalog.

Ok, guys i can confirm that a 2019-2020 rear bumper is a direct swap for the 2016-2018 optima. I bit the bullet and bought a 2020 rear bumper and it fits. I am only missing the rear reflectors but im going on ebay now. Only other issue is the parking sensor box module i zip tied it to the rear crash bar. You cannot reuse the 16-18 bracket because it interferes with the new 19-20 reflector location. There you go guys 👍👍

Probably the worst pictures but rear is a 2020 bumper and front is still my 2018. Will get better pics later
