Have a 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport with front end collision damage. I am going to repair this car, but don't want to part it out if I don't have to. Would like to find a front end clip. Any ideas? More difficult to find than I first thought.

I had about the same amount of damage done to my 2014 IS250, except there was no drivetrain damage. The car looked actually a little less damaged than yours. Back in november, Insurance totaled out the car. Yours being a 350 and an fsport might help you out value wise but IMO It would be cost more to repair it than it would be to turn it in to insurance and go buy a new IS350. Or do what I did and get an RC

I would not repair that.

The pain... my thoughts and prayers are with you...

you'll have to strip everything down but i'm sure the front rails are bent. repairable but a pain, especially if you dont own a frame shop.

if you want to do it on a budget, strip everything down and see what you're getting into. you might be able to replace the rail extensions with or w/o some slight pulling. you'd need a frame shop to do it. try to do as much of the work yourself. after you straighten the rails (assuming they are bent) everything else is legos. easy.

I looked at a 2016 300AWD that had a claim for $32K (Can) for purportedly just the "front left corner". Couldn't find out what all was done, but pretty clear there's a whole lot of expense involved. Car seemed fine, but who knows what lingering or yet-unseen damage to sensors and such could be lurking and could rear its costly head in the future. Was selling at a significant discount, but in the end didn't really want to take the chance... not to mention it wasn't my favourite colour either.

Btw, the Alex Rebuilds guy on Youtube is doing an RCF, it may be of some help.

Well I get the impression you've done this before and purchased the car this way. This wasn't your loss, it's your potential gain correct?

I haven't seen much opportunity to come up on entire front end clip on this forum but then, I'm not looking too hard either.

What id do...call every Toyo/Lexus auto dismantler or junk yard within 200 miles every morning.

If that was my vehicle, I would want it categorized as a write off and start new!!
