Default Need to Replace Front Bumper 2006 GS430

Looking for some help. Got in a little Fender bender with my Black 2006 GS 430 which make me sick to my stomach. Good news is it only affected the front bumper, Bad News is the Front Bumper is Cracked which means I have to have it replaced. Hoping that there might be someone out there that has put a new body Kit on a Black 2006 GS 430 and still has their original Bumper. Anyone out that that might be able to help??????

Much appreciated!!!!

This would be a great time to put a body kit on yours.

My dealer quoted me around $1500 to replace and install. I thought that seemed kind of high and thought maybe I could find someone who has one just sitting around.......

Does an 08 bumper cover bolt on seemlessly? I know for other vehicles, small revisions in the bumper still allowed you to bolt it on seemlessly to previous years.

That sounds like it's including paint materials and labor.

You may want to check your local junk yards to see if they have any used GS bumpers available. The website below is a good source of LKQ (like kind and quality) parts.

Thanks for the help everyone! I am already searching the Junk yards in town and I saw the one's listed currently on Ebay.... Not sure if the 08 Bumper is compatible or not, but I will look into it.

Thanks again to all
