i got in the car wreck in my 99' gs300 couple weeks ago and the front bumper cover and left headlight had replaced. i got my car back today and was disappointed with the work that they've done to my car. the bumper is not touching the headligh where it suppose to. it has about 1/4 of a inch gap between the bottom of headlight and bumper. the gap so big that you can see the inside if you look straight down. i'm a 100% sure that it has no gaps between the headlight and the bumper cover before. can someone check your car to see if there any gap between the bottom of the headlight and the bumper? yes, i 've told the body shop already but they said there is nothing more they can do about it because all parts are brandnew and from oem. any help would appreciate. thanks

Make sure that your bumper is an Oem lexus bumper cover because some body shops tells you that they use oem, but really uses cheaper bumper cover that are made in Taiwan and they do not fit perfectly.

On top near the headlights are(2 )10mm bolts that hold the front bumper on ..if you loosen those and push the bumper more flush to the light and re-tighten, it might fix

Just an idea

that's probably exactly what they did, but how do you know if it oem lexus bumper. i will let my insurance inspect it and see what they say. anyway, thank you all for replies

Yeah, that doesn't look right. Check out this thread (it's about cleaning the headlights, but it has some good bumper pictures):

Get your car back to auto shop and demand fixing it, it is not acceptable what they did. I use2 do body work and this is a JOKE. Do not let them scam you, TALK TO YOUR INSURANCE AGENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

State Farm pays well, looks to me that body shop is ripping you off not insurance agency. Get what you pay for (your premium)

I wish you best of luck, fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know if it is the same for lexus, but oem honda parts either have a sticker or a stamped inside the bumper that tell you it is a oem honda part.
