Default front bumper replacement

New to the forum. Maybe already have a post for this but found old ones. So I need to replace my front bumper. Is it better to use sewell over online part bin? Both said would paint to match but who would have the best quality? Online parts bin costs $525...sewell $760

From Sewell with pain to match. I know one of our member also bought the front B with pain to match and he very satisfied with the pain job. Local Lexus pain shop, they over change for that kind of job. I want to order my front B too, but with the F-sport upgrade with pain to match. I don't recall the member user name. you can install yourself easily if you are handy.

Good luck.

Ok cool thanks. I know it's a $200 difference but I figured it's worth it overall...parts bin said they match the color but up to 2 weeks delivery

Basically part bin ships for free and sewell charges $200 so that's the difference

I feel the OEM bumper cover from Sewell is worth the extra cheddar. Thus the reason I'll be going with one here very soon.
