2k sounds about right, that sucks! i hit a raccoon with my GS and all it did was bust the fog light out. i dont think i ran him over tho and nothing was laying in the street when i looked back so i think it ran off. but it did bum me out that i had to buy another set of fogs

If they just write you a check, thats a huge bonus because you can just buy a lot of the stuff on sewell for much cheaper. The bright side is that its not any real significant damage and now you can upgrade your bumper/get a lip .

Someone is actually selling their fog light housings in the classifieds for half the price. You should jump on it!

Factory painted bumpers are not available in North America as they only come pre-primed. It requires to be painted by a paint shop.

Factory painted bumpers are however only available from Lexus Japan. Note, as per JP spec, they come factory pre-drilled for the japanese licence plates frame.

anyways, called progressive and took it to their shop and after deductible of 500 they gave me almost a grand. smh.

I really dont like progressive, their estimate included: USED BUMPER, AF FOG LIGHT, AF FENDER LINER AND renifish the rh fender ( some paint chipped when the fender liner came off)
anyways theyre cheap, i paid this year alone to progressive : $3,000 full coverage 500 deduc, one car!!!!

smh. im 21 and this was my first claim ever.

im going to SEWELL and JM LEXUS for parts.
