Hi all! These are the pictures of the front of my car (Lexus GS 350 2015) after getting brake checked. I was wondering, since I have to replace the bumper, is it possible that the F-Sport bumper will fit in this car? Also, does anyone know how much the car damage could cost? The sensors are messed up too.





Thank you!!!

It looks like your passenger side headlight may be ajar, so be sure to have whoever doe the repairs to check the headlight mounting tabs.

If the body shop decides it can do a good job repairing the existing bumper and repainting it, and just replace the cracked/broken chrome grill trim piece and the Parking Assist sensor, and not replace the headlight - I'd guess the cost to be around $3,000. Others can better tell you what to expect if you want to change the bumper.

Depending on the body shop and what you agree to - you may not be totally happy with the bumper repair if the bumper repair has waviness in it. Also, you may not be happy if the headlight has broken mounting tabs an they glue the mounting tabs back onto the headlight housing. Even the mounting bracket for the Parking Assist sensor can become an issue. Lots of things can go wrong and make an OCD car owner unhappy with a relatively minor repair job like you need.

You should have your insurance take care of it. That's why you pay your insurance company a monthly premium!

If you are in Silicon Valley, be sure to talk to Alex, owner of "The Great Auto Paint" in Campbell. He's the best.
Does all the local exotics for the dealers. Great prices and excellent work.

Good luck.

You have to figure out the part number for the F sport bumper because Lexus made about 5 different front F sport bumpers. You can check with the dealership by giving them your vin number.

The VIN will only show the current config. Not list interchangeable bumpers.

Just get the 2014-2015 f-sport bumper without headlight washers and with parking sensors.
