Unhappy Front Bumper Replacement

Hey guys, this morning I curbed the front bumper of my car which caused it to crack slightly on the bottom and also towards the right by the fog light. The fog light got pushed into the bumper a little and there's also a slight crack around the housing. What are my options and costs for each option? I also have the headlight washer option but is it possible for me to get a bumper without that option to save a little money?

kind of off topic but i slid into a curb with the front end facing the curb and basically the front just slid over the curb. I pulled back and i saw no damage.

Damn snow. I feel like my Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 are not as good as those Dunlop sport 5000 were in the snow. It might just be me though.

A new front bumper should not cost that much if I remember cause I was looking into buy a spare. As long as you can take what is needed from your current bumper to the new one (grill, fog etc) then it shouldn't cost much. As for the headlight washer, I believe bumpers do not come with the hole and usually have to make that opening yourself.

Ordered and painted OEM bumper from swell is about 800 bucks. Aftermarket bumper for 06-08 is $147 from most aftermarket vendors plus paint should be another 150. I just a new bumper and thats what they charged me to paint my bumper. Really depends on how much you want to spend, if you care about OEM/aftermarket (even though they fit the same), and where you order it from

I just decided to go through insurance because for stuff like this I like to have Lexus work on my car just in case something goes wrong, Lexus themselves are held responsible. It's a $500 deductible through insurance, now I just have to go to Lexus and see how much they want to charge me for a new bumper.
