Can you order one from your local dealership?

Make sure there is no damage to an internal source. I had an estimate recently to have mine replaced b/c of a bus backing into mine. The initial estimate was $1100. After going in the estimate went up to $1900 b/c parking sensors and some other support items had damage

Make sure you find a lexus certified body shop for your repairs, and avoid poorly done repairs.

Look like the internal aluminum support and the bumper stopper damaged, also the red parking marker need to be replaced as well. My guess around $1500.

I'm not sure where you are located but Autometric in Michigan does excellent work and only use official Lexus parts. Looks brand new. All European and Lexus dealers recommend them.

Longo and South County do collision repair

I've only bought a car from South County so I can't speak for their repair work

GL and sorry to read about your misfortunes
