Question rear dmg

i am looking for some advice. does anyone know or have experience with replacing the rear reflector on the IS350? mine got damaged and I'm wondering if I can replace it myself. How easy is it? Thanks

If you can i say get rid of both of them! I hate them...

as for DIY i havent looked but i would get under the car and see if you can see anything from the rear. not sure how they are on. post a pic so we can see?

i am no expert either! when you post click the go advanced button then on the next screen it gives the option to manage attachments. then you can upload the pic. let us know if it doesnt work.

looks like you should be able to replace it? call the parts department and or the local body shop and ask if you can get that piece alone. It may be a part of the bumper? wish i had better info for you but not sure how its attached.

Might be better off having a body shop filling in the area on both sides and painting. IMO would look soo much better!
