Default Bumper replacement

Anyone have advice on sourcing a bumper for my 2015 is350? Worried since I have atomic silver the paint blending isn’t going to go well with most shops.

Even plain old silver is fairly hard to match so yea hope you can find a shop that is good and matching things up. Whatever you do get a genuine Lexus part it's about $500 and worth every penny compared to aftermarket.

I went to a Lexus dealer and used their 'authorized' body shop. Had 3/5 star rating (I should have checked before but I trusted the dealer). Told me they would use authentic parts and ended up using aftermarket and looked like *****. Had a bunch of imperfections and they put on the OEM bumper after. However, the paint job was excellent. Just find a body shop with 4.5+ ratings on Google and see if they have pics of other cars work getting done. Sorry that happened, hope you are doing well
