I'd leave it be, you're bound to have it happen again anyways.

I wait to get rear ended or hit something to replace the bumpers or just wait until other crap, dings, dents, scrapes, etc get to the point where it's worth replacing. My front bumper is almost there but I'm waiting until I can afford the bumper and protective clear shield this time.

Leave it!
You will regret it badly if you try to fix it yourself.
Bodyshop will be stupid expensive and 99% the paint will not match and you will hate the whole car.

Pearl is so hard to match. The only option that would turn out OK would be to buy it prepainted from Lexus. Even then, it might not match perfectly because of fade on your car. If it were me, I'd probably end up leaving it.
