Hi Everyone - I was hoping there were instructions on how to remove the 2010 RX350 front bumper cover somewhere? We had a little fender-bender, and I was planning on trying to replace some of the items myself. I'm handy, but always prefer instructions over trial/error!

Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I haven't been able to find instructions or videos during the last half-hour of searching....

Cheers - OB

Wow, 55 views and no responses! Has no one on this forum done this before?

Does anyone at least know how to remove the plastic retainers by the wheelwells?

Toyota/Lexus offers its repair manuals online for a fee. A 2-day unlimited access costs $15. They have detailed instructions on how to remove the front bumper.

Thanks FamilyRX - I stopped by a repair shop that indicated how to remove the plastic retainers. I'm going to attempt myself, and then provide instructions for any future requests.

I can tell you what I did and see if it helps. I didn't remove the bumper, only the wheel well liner, to get access to the fog lifhts. First I removed the the cover under the engine and put that to the side. It's a combination of plastic clips and hex screws that holds it in place. Next I removed the screws in front of the wheels. They're right in front of plastic piece that juts down in front of the wheels. Then I removed the two clips on the forward part of the wheel well and the one in the inside. The last one will pop out later if it isn't removed. The last part and the one I hate is pulling the black part of the bumper away from wheel well liner and cover underneath. They overlap. Once that was done, the wheel well liner was loose enough to push out of the way and was free of the bumper. I'd advise turning the wheel in for easier access.

Is very easy just take the engine covers after take the plugs by the headlights and after remove the wheel liners only the front and after the bolts that hold the fenders in and unscrew the bottom cover and the bumper cover should come out and unplug sensors and fog lights.....all post some pics.....
