Default Someone stole my bumper part :(

Today I noticed on my bumper, that theres a missing square in the back. Its a 1 inch by 1 inch piece on the back right part of the bumper.. I was so pissed. Not only that I have to wait until thursday to ge tthe part and then it has to be painted What a crappy day. Thats one really bad thing about getting the car first.. everyones always looking at it while it parked and theft problems..

Why would somebody steal it? What use would it have? It might have just fallen out. Is there a scratch from somebody prying it out?

I was wondering the same thing. How much did it cost to replace and what was the function of it? That sucks either way

I think it just fell off. I was waxing my car last weekend and mine fell off and didn't notice it was gone till the next morning. There’s barely nothing holding that thing on

It may have fell off... I ride fast in nj and the roads here arent too smooth Reason I thought someone stole it was bc I saw someone trying to break into my car the other day while I was getting coffee Im the only person in NJ that ive seen have this car. The wait for this car in Nj is 4 months at the local dealer.

I can't believe the wait for the car is 4 months. I laugh when I hear that. I walked into my dealership in Scottsdale and there was a black one sitting there in the lot. I bought it on site. I just got lucky I guess. Good luck on finding the piece

I live in NJ and will pick up my GS430 Black/Ivory next week. They (Ray Catena) are putting the XM Radio Antenna under the rear shelve, unseen. I am also putting a LoJack in the car. It gives me an insurance discount as well. For those of you who are wondering I live in Ocean County near Six Flags with the Highest, Fastest Rollercoster in the world, plug, we need the tax money.

Most parts like that come painted from the factory. There are separate part numbers for each color paint.

Smile Bumper Square

I asked my husband about this and he seems to think (and I believe he is right) that if you need to be towed, that is where they attach the towing apparatus. There is also one on the front bumper if you look closely.
