Agree, I am as OCD as any proud and protective LS430 owner, but I don't believe there is a need to use a body shop for a bumper scrape on a 5+ year old car if you can find a competent touch up guy. Unless I was an extreme perfectionist and simultaneously had unlimited funds - then I'd have the bumper refinished by the Lexus body shop. Besides you could easily spend hundreds $$$ on getting bumper completely redone and have another scrape on it 2 weeks later - aarrgghhh.
