Default Best Front Bumper Supplier

Looking to replace my front bumper. It has flaws and missing clips and not fitting properly. Any suggestions on where to get one that doesn't rape me at the dealer. I have searched, but so many options. I contacted a company out of Chicago that when I asked for a shipping quote, they said they "didn't have any idea what it would cost". All done with that kind of customer service. Any leads would be appreciated. Assuming I will have to get it painted locally

I have seen numerous ones, yes. Just wanted to know if some vendors are better than others.

I was hesitant to reply because (sadly) I have not found the time to dedicate to my front end project and have not yet installed the front bumper cover. I opted to go aftermarket for both front and rear bumper covers and got the front from https://www.carparts.com/details/Lex...PL010303P.html

Had them painted locally and plan is to have the front treated with clear PPF once installed.

Thanks for replying. That information is what I was looking for. Will check those guys out. I havn't taken the rear one off yet, but was surprised at how easy the front one comes off. Some hamfisted mechanic has had mine off and on and broke numerous mounting clips and it isn't sitting properly. Always a new project!

Just a thought - Can you try to re-use the front bumper you have if it is not really damaged? Can the broken clips be replaced? And it may be just as easy to re-paint your existing bumper as an aftermarket one.

Thanks for the idea. But 2 of the clips that hold it in place behind the headlights are gone and really no way to repair those, as well as numerous ones underneath are also gone. Someone did some really sh$%^& work on bumper removal in the past.

August last year, I replaced the front cover, my local dealer is a ****, so I drove 289 miles to Park Place Lexus in Plano Tx. great service from those guys. they made sure I ordered correctly, and had parts waiting on me. Less than 10 min I was heading home. excellent quality. fit excellent. got it 15% off retail, all in 10-11 hundred bucks. Money well spent. Good Luck !!
