I'm not having them touch the bumper. I am fully satisfied with the fix as is. I just want to know what Lexus plans on doing with their next TSB (if it does happen)

I was adjusting something and looking at how the bolts hold the fender to the body I noticed it was at max tolerance. I hypothesize the tolerance is off on the bumper holder which causing it not to be held strongly enough.

Does anyone know the part # for the white bumper support clip? Would like to have a spare one just in case before trying to install the fix. My car's history (I'm the 3rd owner) shows multiple claims for the issue, looks like they even had a body shop install a new "support bracket" previously. Hopefully the bumper tabs are OK and will be able to lock in with the fix in place.

It took all of 5 minutes to install the @cyfi66 fix and the bumper looks great after several trips. I have a LE and the separation was getting worse and worse on the driver side. Will report back after more miles, but so far, so great!

Amazing what cyfi66 has done for us Lexus 500 owners!! This fix has basically killed this thread now!! I am so appreciative for what this guy has done for us!! I am getting mine done in the fall when I go to the dealer for an oil change because I am about 1.5h from the dealer and don't want to do a special trip just for that but will report back fro sure!
