Default New front bumper!

I think I am going to get my front bumper replaced on my 2002 SC430 b/c it came with holes drilled in it for the license plate. Where do I get a front bumper from? If possible, I'd like it already painted in the millenium silver. Please PM me or post here. Thank you!

I would think a body shop would charge a whole lot less to fill in, sand down and paint a few holes than someone would charge you for a whole bumber that you have to have someone put onto the car.

I did not have holes on my SC, but on my RX front pumber I used the plugs, and considering all the other do-dads on bumbers these days, it looks fine.

www.bumperplugs.com

I don't have a photo of that, but while I was on the site, I also ordered the plugs for the keyholes, since I haven't used a key in the door manually in quite a while. These look very nice, and can be popped out quickly if you need to access the keyhole. Warning: the Porsche key is apparantely wider than the Lexus key, so the ends of the plugs have to be trimmed off a bit to fit. No problem with either a razor knife or a file.

It's a nice touch, as long as you are not using your valet key much.
