hard work but worth it. looks awesome now with new fresh chrome.

amazing how people hit you in a parking lot and leave. how do they sleep at night lol.
..just have the insurance at least pay for what they did. Im sure it was a mistake. They just didnt want to pay the piper. No excuse for them bailing on you! Another example of whats wrong with the world! How can we complain about a better world when we have no respect for how others feel but, we do only for ourselves. Its to the point now I wont buy a new car again. Only used! So sorry that happened to you!!!! L.G.N.M

yeah it sucks. he did a good job but no perfect. nothing can replace a factory painted matched bumper.

i am hoping to find one for sale somewhere or off a parted car. or maybe someone who took theirs off for a custom body kit.

Sorry about that AlMuhairi, tough week for the two of you with rear endings!! Glad that MR29Rose got his fixed. Most cant tell it was repaired anyway so I think you'll be fine even if you change you mind about getting one from another LS460 that wasnt damaged. The 460 is such a great car that most wont even care or notice until you say what happened to it. Hope it goes smooth for you as well AlMuhairi!! L.G.N.M

now look at what happened. the paint is starting to peel off. he did a good job but it wasnt perfect. and i think he painted it with the square caps on the car and the edges were a little rough and i took it the way it was hoping for the best but guess not!

i worked hard to find a good paint guy and ended up getting screwed. i never win!
