Bumper Replacement For the NX200t
Hello,
My Lexus was previously involved in a hit and run. Both the bumper and grill need to be replaced. However, before I go ahead, I have been noticing images on the internet of NX models (with out the F Sport Package) that have for of a flat front end. I purchased my NX in Canada and the bumper has the pointy more narrow front end. Would anyone know if it can possibly be replaced with the flatter bumper? It looks way nicer in my opinion.
The attached image will illustrate it better.

Sorry to here about your damage.
The problem with a new bumper are the cheap plastic wheel arches that have to be reattached once the replacement bumper is put on. They are stuck on with cheap double sided tape and peel back very easily over time when reglued. I'm having my third set put on next week since my bumper was replaced in April.
Nothing like 'the pursuit of perfection'.
