Default Front Bumper Help

Hi Guys,

I recently cracked my front bumper and need to replace it. One of the concrete parking wedges in a parking lot jumped up and smacked me.

Anyone recommend a good shop in the LA Area (310 or 818) that can handle the repair? I might be able to get a used bumper. Not sure if I will use my insurance or not.

Thanks

Where have you been John? Missed a good meet in San Clemente a few weeks back.

Shame, as I had a bumper that I tossed out only a few weeks ago. Would have given it to you, but they go for pretty cheap. Check the classifieds forum or post a Want Ad there.

Totally missed you at San Clemente. Sorry to hear about the bumper. Check this recent thread out:

Sooooo, isn't this a perfect time for a body kit. A Tom's front bumper or perhaps a Auto Couture? Just a thought.

If you go through insurance I'm assuming that your rate may go up slightly? If that's the case then doing it yourself is waaay better in the long run.

Take it as a sign from the Lexus gods. Time to get an Auto Couture kit
