Default Missing part that connects to the front spoiler!

Can someone please tell me what part I am missing?! At first I thought I found the part but the holes do not match up so I feel like there is another piece missing but I don't know what it is. I been searching for about a week and it's driving me crazy. This a 2014 Lexus GX460 btw!

That little protrusion doesn't exist on my pre-refresh '12.

Not sure but maybe the lower flaps got shredded on a curb and were removed? Do you have anything like this that I have on my 2011 GX?

Hey Tecman,
I really appreciate you checking that for me, but I think the 2010-2013 Lexus GX 460 are a bit different from the 2014+. However, it does look really similar. I'm not too sure what part that is but is it connected to this part?

Here is a picture out of brochure showing that area. It appears there are some bolts or screws fastening into something.

Do you know if this vehicle has ever been in an accident and some incorrect model year parts were used?

If not... someone with a '14+ will need to chime in for comparison.

Yeah, I'm not too sure what that thing is screwed too! That's the missing part that I need but I don't know what it is. Got into a Front end collusion but I used all the correct parts. Bought the parts from a dealership.

You might need to visit your dealer on this and look at one on the lot.

Part 22 (Impact Bar) has 3 brackets that have rivets in them. You need to take the front engine cover off to see if you even have the impact bar. I fear that you don't





Pic off E bay for 2010-2013 not sure if this changed.

While you are in there make sure you have the foam in the bumper.

I was having a feeling that something significant was missing.

Hopefully the brackets are just bent up inside due to a small impact.

I think you are right Tecman! I definitely have the reinforcement bar but I am missing the three bracket you pointed out. Do you have any chance of knowing where I can purchase these brackets? You are a lifesaver!

I take it this was a used part. Parts schematic here

https://www.mylparts.com/auto-parts/...nts-front-scat

Shows it as being part of the impact bar #21. In pics it is riveted on.... so either a new one or out of a wrecking yard that isn't damaged. Either place is going to want to sell you the entire #21.

IMO... you aren't going to find this as a standalone part from the dealer.
