Default Fake the funk? Rear bumper with or without sensors.

I'm getting ready to order my rear bumper cover from sewell and there's an option for one with or without sensors. Now this might be kind of lame but I'm thinking about getting the one with sensors, even though I don't have the actual sensors.... I find them aesthetically pleasing for some reason. What do you guys think? Do they make the rear look good or tacky?

Kinda sure if you get the bumper+sensors option, you'll just get the bumper with holes, and nothing else.

I only know what's going on with the front bumper. The 2006-2008 have a sensor + sensor cover as "one piece", they're attached to each other, and cannot be removed. The 2011 sensor and the sensor cover are now separated.

Also the sensor cover doesn't cover the whole thing, it's just a frame. The middle part is actually a sensor.

I'm guessing same goes with the rear? not too sure.

You'd just have holes. The sensors would have to be ordered/installed.
