Default IS 250 Front Bumper Replacement Starfire Pearl

In short I want to replace my front bumper for my 2010 IS 250. I'm looking to purchase a painted front bumper from Sewell. Do I need to get the one with the Washer option or just the regular front painted bumper. Also, do I need to purchase any other parts?

Okay. Thank you. How much does it cost to have the bumper replaced in a shop once I purchase it from Sewell? I'm a complete newbie.

it's cracked, you won't be able to repair it.

You can repair that crack. However, the point of contention is how well a second party repair shop can match a very difficult paint color. Sewell does an excellent job a long as your your surrounding paint isn't too faded. I'd go Sewell if it were me. You can install the bumper yourself. It isn't difficult.
