Queston: passenger side mirror & rear bumper for a 91
I'm trying to replace my passenger side mirror for my 91. It was a hit-and-run bs. Can anyone tell me what year can be compatible with the 91 since, I'm getting a mixed number on the year, and any websites on where I can get them since most local store and junkyard doesn't hold them? I'm currently residing in Dallas, TX.
Is there a specific brand that you guys can recommend me to since most parts won't match my car, I'm looking for SilverMist Metalic color.
Lastly, I have a surface scratch on my rear bumper. I do plan to wet sandpaper it to smooth it out, but do you guys think that if I used the Silvermist metallic color, will it match with the rest?
Thank you!

Lexus parts catalog says that 1990-1993 RH mirror is the same (except for color, etc.). It still lists the mirror as available but only in one color; not your color. Your best bet is the wrecking yard (or ebay) and paint to match.
Get the paint code off the certification label on the door jamb. Get touch up paint from a place like this: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

If you're looking by model year, you specifically need a 1990-1992 mirror
1993-1994 will fit, but the mirrors were enlarged as part of the 1993 model year updates, so it would look different. I can't speak for any wiring differences.
For the bumper, it depends where the scratch is.. If your car is still two-tone, the upper half is Silvermist metallic (176), but the lower half would be Light gray metallic (UA30)

I would say that it's in between. LOL Like literally there is a surface scratch in the middle, just that it's deep enough that my fingernail can get caught in. I don't know if I should paint then let it dry before working on the other. Thank you tho!
