So a friend of mine decided to parallel park into me. Basically my whole front driver side fender is jacked up. I tried to find the part number for it but the diagrams are a little unclear and I'm not sure of the actual nomenclature for it. Any help? My friend is going to pay for whatever it tskes so I want an OEM fender and OEM pant job on it.

will post pics sometime tomorrow when I can see the damage in day light. I can already see that its pretty bad though.

 

Theres no such thing as an oem paint job

 

I meant like a factory quality paint job.

 

For some pieces, they are factory painted from Lexus Japan, like the bumpers, mirrors which is done by robot. I would say this would be the ideal paint job you would want.

The fender, hmm not quite sure about that because they may use JP spec which is slighttly differnt than NA spec. Factory painted pieces will cost signficantly more since it would need to be brought over essentially from Lexus Japan.

Jeff may know the answer.

 

There is no way to get a painted fender from Lexus. They all come unpainted.

If you want a good quality paint job, you're going to need to find out who does the best paint work in your area.

Would you happen to know the part # and how much it approximately costs?

 

53802-53071

Price is probably about $350 at your local dealer.

Thanks. Looks like I can get it from Sewell for 321$ shipped.

Any paint shop suggestions for the San Diego area?

This is the damage Wheel also got scratched up.

 

call up Platinum VIP in irwindale thats who i had spray my side skirts and they match 100% I know its a drive from San Diego but well worth it. what part of San Diego are you in ?

 

32nd St Naval base. Thats a 2-3 hour drive just to get a fender painted =/ I'm gonna look for shops around this area. Came across a few with great reviews from people on here.

edit: Just looked up where SDCS shop was located and turns out its right across the street from where I'm at lol Great reviews of them and I drive by them all the time and see their cars out there so I think that'll be the shop.

edit: Does anyone know how to remove the fender? I want to do this install by myself.

 

Yeah you need to find a good painter. Keep in mind, even if you knew the EXACT mixture of the OEM paint, it still wouldn't be a 100% match. Paint fades every so slightly Because of this, a good painter will account for this but it's very difficult to match 100% thus my painter takes it an extra step by fading the paint into the new color. Yes he paints into the next panel to achieve this but it ends up looking as if it was never painted

 

Why not try calling sewell and see how much it'd be painted and shipped. They do paint at that dealership.

 

Try calling autofashion i think they have a paint shop

 

I already ordered the part

 

did you order a painted one from sewell ?
