Need A Front Bumper....
Need A Front Bumper....
I’m looking for a front bumper for my 07 IS250, preferable brand new.
Lexus cost was $366, not trying to spend so much, Partsmax in Miami cost is about $150 but not so sure about their fitment since its aftermarket. (have anybody bought parts from them before?)
Any help or suggestion, doesn’t have to be local will pay for shipping.

Just to clarify...
Lexus bumpers which come to North America are unpainted. Don't get confused with Sewell's painted one because they are not factory painted; it is done by the paint shop they sent it to which is painted by hand.
This differs from a factory painted bumper which is only available from Lexus Japan which is painted by robot, which is the same factory painted bumper which you get when getting a new car. The factory one will cost more but there is a bit of implication because it will come factory pre-drilled as per JP spec for Japanese licence plates; currently trying to figure out if they can come without being drilled. As for the rear bumper, can get them without worrying about spec differences.

Sounds like a contradiction because if you want it to match, you want the factory/original paint job. If I were to get a paint gauge to measure, it speaks for itself. Just saying...
Paint shops will never be the same as factory paint.
