Anyone know where I can find a OEM bumper support at a reasonable price. 20-30 range... It attaches to the light. Clip broke when i removed the bumper.

Does anyone know of a salvage yard online store or something.

 

I dont know of a salvage yard online but I have used
http://www.lexuspartsnow.com//lexus-is-f-parts.html
What I hate about that site is they dont include the pictures/diagrams, unlike hondapartsnow.com they include the pictures.

This may be a diagram that helps locate the part number that you need.

Is it part #13 in the picture? Hard to tell. They are noted as left/right in the column on the right.

From what I've been told, breaking those clips is pretty common, and any body shop will quote new pieces when you have them remove the bumper for this reason. Finding a junkyard part might be just as bad as the one you have.

For the more common stuff, I usually look here:

The people that work at lexuspartsnow have the brain power of a brontosaurus. Not helpful in any way. Not to mention they wont ship to Canada and wont even accept a Canadian credit card even though you have an american shipping address. Real shame seeing as they're prices are quite a bit better than sewell's.

 

Should be Lexus Part Number # 52116-53040

Your not going to find this Special Order part for $20-$30

Joe,

I lucked out. After doing tons of internet searching I found the part. 31 dollars to shipped to my door. Parts geek. I recieved it in the mail today and it is identical. It doesn't say Toyota on it but doesn't bother me. Fits perfect. 09 IS350. Same part number.

Note: Careful when pulling down on your bumper

 

No, not the same part number as any other 2IS.

52535‑53020 - IS F right hand
52536‑53020 - IS F left hand

52535‑53010 - ISx50 right hand through 09-08
52536‑53010 - ISx50 left hand through 09-08

52535‑53011 - ISx50 right hand from 10-08
52536‑53011 - ISx50 left hand from 10-08

Have you installed the part and the bumper?

 

As of right now I did not put it on the car... looking at closer it seems that one plastic section doesn't stick out quite as far. I went with the 52116 hoping it would be the same. If it doesn't work it back to searching or paying the stealership 70 bucks for this thing...

 

Agreed.. But your listed part numbers are for the "RETAINER, FRONT BUMPER SIDE, LH" (see 52536 & 52535)

The bracket under the headlight is called "SUPPORT, FRONT BUMPER SIDE, LH " (see 52116A & 52115A)
52116-53040 Replaced by: 52116-53041

Headlamp Housings & Support Brackets underneath have specific part numbers for the IS-F, none of which are the same as any year ISx50.

I guess I have to call the dealership tomorrow to order one.
