^Exactly what I was going to say. Probably cheaper to fix what you have than get a new one.

But you can always get a new OEM GFX front lip from Sewell Lexus : http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2006/1777.html

If you sign up for an account with them as a Club Lexus member, you can get an additional discount on just about everything they sell.

There is also replica GFX front lips on ebay too.

So instead of putting it in your trunk and disposing of it yourself, you just expected someone else to clean up after you?

Well hey, you can either make light of the situation or be angry at yourself. Sucks that it happened, but as long as everyone is ok then it's fair game!
