Chris Sewell is having a sale soon again for the GFX Front lip,
I say you get a new one, that way you wont have to settle.
I'm getting two, just in case lol

I remember seeing your post, and I also remember dodging some tires
on the I-5 at where you said you hit one, I've dodged so many tires there
it's ridiculous!

Hope you get it fixed

yea man, just get a new front lip, call lexus of westminister...i'm sure they're willing to sell you at a discount price under $150 for obsidian.

Trust me, it's worth it getting it replaced, the bumper already have the holes drilled for you - that's the hard/time consuming part. You just need to put it on, and you'll feel much better knowing it's fixed.

Otherwise, I guess you can always use those 3M double sides strong adheasive tape they sell at Kragen or Home Depot for body kits. The packaging is red and the tape is grey-ish color. People use them for emblems as well. That might do the job. Good luck!

fuc'ing tires, literally fu'k them. I'm furious. Both my R32 and IS250 hit a tire the SAME fing week (this week). My R32 is in the shop, hoping that bumper, logo, and underbody retainer is the only damage. Another sh't flew on my bumper tonight on the IS250, leaving cracked front bumper, grill, and cracked paint.

*** U truck drivers.

I'm so furious right now. Can't believe I had this shtty luck to get TWO cars damaged in same week.

Back to your car, it looks like you did a pretty good job fixing it. I'm too **** to have damage left on the car...
