Front Bumper DIY Repair
 
My Lexus ES350 2010 Front right bottom side of bumper got broken. I don't want to replace whole bumper.

I saw this video and it appears that one can DIY.

Any thoughts or any other suggestions for repairing it?

Also, are there any covers which one can put on this bumper ?

This is my first post, but I feel the need to comment on this topic. My previous vehicle, 09 Honda Fit I smashed the front right side bumper. I ended up removing the bumper from the car and drilled holes on each side of the crack. Using zip-ties, I brought the crack closer together and you couldn't even tell the bumper was smashed after the fact, unless you looked for the zip ties.

They refer to this as "Drifter stitch". Not sure how bad you damage is, but I ran my car this way for 2 years before my car was totaled by another driver. I now own an 07 Lexus es 350. :)
