Default Does a GS350 front bumper fit a GS460?

Took a look at the underside of my front bumper today and realised that it's been scraped up pretty bad from rubbing on the ground
I had already been wanting to spend some time on it due to high amount of rock chips
However I'm thinking it could be better to get a better looking bumper from a wrecked GS350 (due to rarity of GS460)

Just wondering if the front bumper from a GS350 is the same as a GS460?

There the same, but if its all just rock chips and no big tears, just have it repaired and repainted. If its a complicated color such as the pearl whites, I would leave it alone as that color is hard to blend properly.

It's Obsidian Black
It's just the underside that is gouged up

Probably best to just repair the paint chips
Is there a best shop for this sort of thing?
Was thinking of getting a paint detailer to also do all the rock chips before polishing paint

If you find a good mobile spot paint guy those are the best for small repairs like this. You will find them at new/used car dealerships repairing there "certified cars" in the back or at car auctions. They charge anywhere from $100-150 a panel, ask around for one or any somewhat descent paint shop. Good thing is that the black is super easy to blend/match, and the paint is cheaper.
