Default 22 Lexus Es350 FSport

Whats going on everyone. I recently replaced my bumper due to someone hitting it, but when put it back on the middle of the bumper is dipped in. Am i missing something that’s keeping it up or is the bumper messed up?

Did you replace it by yourself or did a body shop replace it for you? It does look like the upper part of the bumper is dipping toward and it also looks crooked and misaligned. I would take it back to the body shop and have them correct that if I were you.

probably not clipped on correctly. align the upper tabs.

i used to tear down brand new lexuses hour one day one from the dealer when i got home (did a lot of headlight retrofits) and it takes a while to manhandle a bumper perfectly by yourself and get all clips/tabs aligned but you get used to it after a couple times lol. sometimes you have to completely remove it and reinstall it from scratch to understand how it all fits together.
