Hi there,
I'm new to the site and wanted to know if I could get some direction.

My IS got scratched and bumper got pushed in a little bit on the passenger side by a red car as I was doing my shopping. This is what I came out to see when I was done.

I was wondering if it was worth getting fixed or to buy a new bumper.

ErinMills Lexus gave me a rough estimate of about $1000 for new bumper and paint. Gonna use that as a rough guideline to shop around.

Does anyone have any recommendations of body shops in the Peel area?

Thanks

Go to a reputable body shop and get it repainted! Before they repaint they'll likely sand or do their best to rid imperfections for a smooth surface to paint on.
That "pushed in" part is nothing to worry about. When I took my bumper off, I had that same look on the side, but it turned out to be a small area which I could *carefully* bend out. when the body shop repaints, they'll have to remove the bumper from the car anyway.

Good luck!

Thanks Nixcision.

I want to get this done before winter arrives but not looking to spend $1K on it

that bumper can easily be smoothed out and repainted for a lot cheaper. the big problem is finding a reputable paint shop.

Just FYI painting starfire pearl is not cheap at all because is a 3 stage paint and is hard to match if u want a good quality body shop they still will charge u around $1000 just to repaint it. At least in Bay area ca that's how much it cost
