where to get 2014 front bumper
#16
The local paint shop is in Walnut. The shop looks decent so I may try it out. The big name body shop wants $350.

I finally find the time to finish the 2016 front bumper upgrade. The 2012 fog light just need some trimming to fit the 2 slots and the 2 screw holes. I had LED bulbs for the fog light. The 2012 emblem fits as well. It took me more than half a day because I am slow & cautious.
Now I have to find a home for the front license plate!!

About the front plate, I'd just wait until I got a fix-it ticket...I see so many cars in CA that don't have them.

The total price tag is about $1500 plus my cheap labor. Parts from parts.com are about $900 (taxes & shipping included). Paint job is $250. Bumper from Longo Lexus is about $350 (taxes included/ pick-up at dealer) This is with the old fog light & emblem.

Found a home for the license plate!
I drilled a 1-3/8" hole on the tow plate (it looks kind of big on the picture), maybe you can live with 1" hole, just less tolerance. Don't want to drill twice. Be sure to add lock washers so the plate don't spin, it's only attached with ONE single bolt. Well, it's better than on the middle of the bumper.

I will probably do this soon on my 2011.
Also, for the tow hook, I used a rubber grommet made for electrical boxes to seal the hole around the tow bolt.

I had to stretch a 5/8in one as I could not find a 3/4in version. It worked.
The hole that was drilled was about 7/8 inch diameter.

Okay, Parts.com said they can ship the rest of the parts except the bumper which is too large so I may order the bumper from local dealer & pick it up myself. It will cost a bit more.

Yardbird88, Im interested in doing this to my 2012 CT200h soon and I was just wondering what were all of the parts that you ordered from parts.com to complete the conversion other than the front bumper?
