So, recently, hit a fiberglass ladder in the road. Cracked the left front bumper, toward the bottom. I've looked online, but not sure which one is best. Ideas?

Thanks.

Depends what you want to pay. Cost conscious? Aftermarket bumper and have it painted. Somewhat cost conscious? Used OEM (you might be able to pick up one in decent condition anywhere from 2-300). Don't care? New OEM. If the cost of the bumper (w or w/o paint) is more than your collision deductible, it may be worth going through your insurance.

Well, my deductible is $500. Talked to my body guy, he said he could do it for that or maybe less, depending on me getting parts. It's a 2008 IS250, kinda the blueish grey color.

Was it just your bumper cover that was damaged, no grilles were harmed? fog lights?

It also broke the plastic guard underneath as well.

Most the stuff you'll be able to reuse, except that fender well and clips. I can't tell if that link I posted is the same color as your car or not.

As far as puttin on the bumper...you can definitely do the job, it doesn't need a body man IMO

For the driver's side, just called a splash guard? Going to need that too. Yeah, Grille and fogs seem to be fine.

In the same boat. Anyone ever order a bumper from partsgeek.com? They have reasonable prices but not sure if their aftermarket bumper fitment is any good.

I was looking for a new bumper as well. I'm looking for aftermarket and getting it painted. Is rockauto.com legit? Anyone had experience ordering a bumper online?
