slightly bumpy
Recently Ive noticed my car become much bumpier than I ever remember it being. I was attributing it to the recent work on the freeways, But I alteady ruled out that possibility. Seems more noticable at high speeds i can literally see the whole dash and seats shake it dosent feel to bad but it is very annoying. Just replaced motor mounts, and did my front rotors. My rear tires are getting kinda worn can this be the cause.

90% chance it's your flex disk. Also did you buy OEM rotors? Do you notice it more when the car sits overnight and then you hit the highway?
Put the car on a lift and check the bolts on the flex disk, if you can see rust/brown lines coming from the bolts then it's a sign the the flex disk is going bad.

wouldnt the flex disc only cause vibration upon acceleration only ? Not a bumpy ride ...also bent rims will cause vibration , not bumpiness ... when were the shocks changed .. at any rate , slicks in the back would cause all kinds of havoc so change these first , and go from there .

check them all , including flex disc ... I was just responding to " BUMPY " , to me bumpy has to do with shocks, joints , sway bar joints , spring perch pads ( which hardly ever fail ) , all others will vibration to a degree or another . best of luck
