›The vehicle rear bumper cover is styled independently…

The vehicle rear bumper cover is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design.

FIG. 1 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle rear bumper cover;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle rear bumper cover;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the vehicle rear bumper cover;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the vehicle rear bumper cover; and

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the vehicle rear bumper cover; and,

FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle rear bumper cover.
