Replacement bumper
Does anyone have a reccomendation for somewhere to get new front an rear bumper's. Not exactly looking for a body kit, just oem or oem replica bumpers. My front and rear are beat up, the previous owner must have had problems backing into something. Figured it may be worth it to try to find new rather than a used one from a yard.
I purchased an LKQ reproduction front bumper when I had the front-end repainted. The fitment is not perfect, but it's pretty good for a daily driver. If you have a company that reconditions factory bumpers where you are, that's probably a nicer option because the fit will be perfect. But if not, the LKQ reproduction is decent. Note that if you have a Canadian or European model with the headlight washers, I'm not aware of a repro front bumper that includes the cutouts for that.
I had the same experience as firelizard. It depends on what you're trying to achieve and how much you care. I initially had the LKQ front bumper for a replacement as well and found the gaps under the headlights to be unacceptable, so I had the body shop send that thing back and I got the OEM Toyota bumper instead. Beyond the aesthetics of the imperfect fitment, I didn't want the unnecessary ingress of water in those spots whenever I washed my car or had it out in the rain.
In my area I see quite a few come up periodically on FB mktplc. I was looking as I need to repaint my front from accumulated rock/stone damage, and hoped to get lucky instead of having to do it. No luck (on a perfect match), so next month my bumper will come off and I repair/replace it. But I see a fair number.
In my area, 2GS are available most of the time at local "Pick n Pull" type junkyards for less than $100. You just need patience waiting for ones in decent condition, but they'll (likely) be OEM. You luck out if you get a color match, otherwise a body shop will get you there.
Thanks for the recc's. I actually did check the salvage yards around since I need a driver door, there is one same color at a place I've been before. Their pictures show that it has the bumpers too, but they are not listed as available.
