Default 2011 IS250 nipped in the rear

Hello Club Lexus,

I just purchased a 2011 IS250. First time Lexus owner here. Coming over from the BMWs. Here are the pics:



Lexus 2011 IS250






She got nipped in the rear. I would like to do some plastic surgery on her behind, what kind of parts do I need to get all patched up again. I was searching online and saw this diagram:





Lexus IS250 2011 Rear Bumper Diagram

I got the diagram from: http://www.mylparts.com/parts/2011/L...=REAR%20BUMPER no affiliation with mylparts.com


What parts from this diagram do I need to get her bumper area back up to spec?

Appreciate any comments.



Thank you.

Kind Regards

JV

The driver rear quarter panel is going to require some "pulling" to get it back within specs. The trunk hinges may also be damaged as well. Very hard from just those pics. So far, you seem to have the rear bumper diagram good.

no doubt idoke1 rear quarter pulling could use some "pulling". will have the hinges checked.

Thanks MEAHT. I will browse their website. i have a question MEAHT. how does sewellexus know which color to paint the bumper?

Other than the rear quarter panel, the car seems to be in pretty decent condition other wise.

That looks anywhere from $3,500 -$5,000 worth of work depending what we can't see and shop labor rates. The way Sewell can match your paint is to look at the paint code in the door jamb.

Does anyone know how the rear bumper cover is attached to the bumper bar?

It doesn't really attach to the bumper bar. The rear bumper cover is held in place by the black plastic tabs seen behind the rear wheels in your pictures. Theres also two metal tabs you don't see in the pics beneath the trunk lid. Those hold the bumper cover in place fairly well and you secure it in place using screws.
