Some upstanding citizen backed into my 2020 RX L 350 and busted the lower half of the bumper all to hell, but he did leave me a piece of his red bumper behind as a token of appreciation! Discovered it was probably a older nissan pathfinder. However no one has claimed it and Im tired of driving my zip tied ghetto rigged new car. Ive gone ahead and purchased a replacement grill with extra cover plates and full around chrome fascia. However Ive spent the better part of 4 hours looking for a manual or any insightful tips on how to get the old one off and replace it. I can see a lot more holes on the new grill than I can see on the old one. Id really rather not make matters worse and would like to replace it without screwing up the new one. If anyone has a guide, or video or even some useful tips I would be over the moon!

 

There are a couple of videos on YouTube showing RC and RX. I think the RC video might give you a good idea how to proceed. I'm sure they have enough similarities.

 

Don't you have insurance?

 

Maybe he happens to own the red Pathfinder.

 

Seems like it. And I do have insurance, however just had to hit them up for my wrecked RDX to get the RX so didnt want to rock the boat for a 300 dollar grill especially when my deductible is 500. FYI accident wasnt my fault but cant wait eons for other insurance to pony up. Easier for them to go after the money anyhow.
