Silly question, can anyone tell me what bumper I have? I've ordered both of these lower grills and neither fit. I'm confused, same with the fog lights

Weird. I just googled around and the majority of the bumpers look like this one https://www.futureford.com/inventory...jpg?height=400. But then I found one bumper that looks more like yours here https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RqE36ubLBqY/hqdefault.jpg. Not sure what the difference is or if its a slightly after market bumper.

And yours even originally had the same style bumper that you bought. But I can't find anything that specifies which cars its on. Maybe different for the ones with the headlight washers?

Thank you guys for looking!

I came to Lexus today to have service done on my ISF, I went to the parts store gave them my vin on the ct200h and showed them a picture of the fog light cover and even Lexus is confused. One guy says it's the F sport another says it's not. Is there anyway for me to tell? One would assume Lexus would have the correct information but I guess not. All they could suggest was to return everything and rebuy the parts from them....of course. Or if anyone could just help me find the part # on those fog light covers. All I'm able to find is the non f sports. Or a carbon fiber f sport one but that's about $500 🙄

I looked even more for fog light covers and found nothing. When you got it it was already missing those and the toe hook covers? I'm wondering if you aren't the first person to replace the bumper. But I even narrowed my search and there are tons of F Sports without that bumper and then a couple with that bumper in all the images. I couldn't even narrow it down by searching for just CTs in the UK or JDM versions. I think they may be right about having to return it and buy a different one. But probably just go back to eBay. Its a cool looking bumper but not worth the hassle if you can't get all the right parts. You could also look around to see if maybe any other lexus models share the same look of the fog light covers, then cut parts to make them fit.

Yes, unfortunately everything was missing from the front bumper. Honestly the further I dig into this. I feel as though this isn't the first time the bumper was replaced, just due to the lack of parts available for this particular one. But I am restless and found what i needed!

So after tirelessly searching the web, I found the correct parts...wellll I assume so.

Bumper tow hook-covers
52127-76901 (passenger side)
52127-76901 (driver side)
53102-76010 (lower radiator grill, fit perfectly)
52112-76010 fog light cover not sure what side
52113-76010 fog light cover not sure what side

The only thing I'm not certain on is the fog light covers....yet. I had to order these from megazip.net. they are an overseas company and the fog light covers are coming from Japan..... couldn't finds theses state side and they appear to be the same part numbers as the first set I ordered.



While the bumper was off I also replaced the top grill to an f sport version and replaced the lower fog lights and bulbs. I will add the fog light covers after they arrive. I can paint now! Probably do it this weekend.




I almost forgot! I painted the wheels and put new tires on 😎









I went with the Lexani UHP all seasons in OEM specs



Also did the rear whiper delete. Looks so much cleaner!

I've been curious about the wiper delete, but I seriously giggle every time I have to use it because its the smallest wiper blade ever and just looks ridiculous. Also the wheels look amazing. And that is still so weird about the fog light covers.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think the rear whiper was pretty pointless. I can still see out the rear even during heavy rain.

The Fog covers I received still don't fit 😪. I've just given up at this point.

Well I attempted to paint and fix the dented spots..... didn't go well










It's better than it was but by no means how I'd like it.

I think I might wrap it inside. Thoughts?

The front bumper can look much better even with a can job. What you did on the doors and rear quarter panel is half ***. Sorry...you would have to complete the whole area to make it match. It now looks like a stripe of paint down the car.

What paint materials did you use?

No need to be sorry. I agree with you. I used EPA paint which is supposed to be an exact match. It's out of can, I think a wrap would be easier and look way better.

I think it does look better than it did. Its more of a 20 foot paint job though. I also looked at the pictures before I read about what you were doing and I started wondering if you were putting racing stripes on it. My point is you should put racing stripes on it.
