Default ls430 front and rear bumper

hi everybody we are from the uk and have an 04 ls430 in aleutian grey

basically we had a little bump in it the other day and the rear bumper could do with replacing, i was wondering how much it would be for a upgraded front and rear bumper from the states, just a subtle one enough to see a difference though. ? thanks all

For replacement bumpers, you'll probably want to look towards Japan. A full replacement bumper kit (front, sides, rear) will probably average $2500-$3500 US dollars. I believe PG Motoring has a full Job Design Difference kit on sale, but you'll probably pay quite a bit for shipping to your side of the world.

For a reference point, I was recently rear ended. It bent part of my bumper (despite the low speed impact, but car that hit me was a Jeep). I got it fixed not too long ago. The rear bumper alone, OEM, with a fresh parking sensors, paint + labor was $1200+. I got the new sensors because the plastic housing was cracked on one of them (only comes in new sets of 4 apparently). I have seen front bumpers from OEM dealers for $300 or so. Figure at least $1000 before shipping (which for something tha size/weight is going to be hefty). Do some research, ask them how much it would cost. Sewell Lexus is a pretty good place to start. I've heard things like trademotion are legit as well. Good luck
