Call your local salvage yard ($100-$200 price range)

Hey dude,

If you want to stick with the OEM bumper lexuspartseast.com offers the same stock bumper that your dealership is charging $400 for at a discounted price of $281.

It may be a prime time to install a Carson Tuned front bumper though if you don't want to stick with OEM

For $400 I'd buy an AAC replica of the Carson/TRD front bumper (actually less than that). Otherwise, browse the forums or salvage yards and try to find one on the cheap.

^^ That's what I did, I think it was $360 shipped, I don't remember exactly.
But yeah, fits like a glove & definitely better than stock IMO....

I've been quite impressed with some of the stuff AIT Racing (correction from my previous AAC comment) has put out. Not all of it is perfect fitment, but for the price it can't be beat. Any decent body shop can paint and get fitment pretty much spot on for a very reasonable price, which is several hundred dollars under the Carson price, and HUNDREDS below freaking TRD NEO prices.

Oh sheet, you're right, I didn't catch that typo either. haha
But mine was nice, fit great, I think I paid like $400 or $450 to have it custom painted and installed with blinkers and custom grille..
