Question Rear Bumper Replacement

The rear bumper on my 2008 X5 was replaced last week and the attached photos were taken the day it was delivered to me by the store manager.
What do you think about the quality of this job done by a well-known luxury auto repair shop?

It's super wavy and although pictures can be deceiving it dosent look like the paint matches either.

Yes, It is indeed super wavy.
Bumper is textured, not painted.

They didn't slip the tabs in right. If you unlatch the lower trunk, you can see the parts of the bumper that slide under certain parts. Make them fix it

I wouldn't have left the shop with that. Terrible, just terrible.
