Default Tree branch damage

My girl let her sister drive the IS last night for GNO. On the way home from Pasadena sister merges onto the FWY and instead of looking ahead of her she looks behind her at traffic. All of a suddend smash.

Try some JB Weld and glue the part back together.

For the bezel cover... about $5.00 from your dealer..

Thanks itstundra for the exploded view.

Yes the bumper is damaged. There is an impression in the plastic and a mark in the paint on the passenger side. I didn't takes photos of that yet. Might be able to buff out the paint mark, but the bumper is creased.
