Default Crashed my is250 last night :( . New bumper?

Yea so last night i crashed into a fence and I messed up the bumper pretty bad. The bumper is kind of hanging on and the fog lights are completely gone, the grille is still good though.

What's a good place to get replacement bumper and fogs? I was going to try rock auto because I've bought stuff from them before and they kind of have low prices.

go OEM! find a buddy at a dealer that'll help you out with their discount or go Sewell.

you sure that's all that's damaged? crash beam, rad support and whatnot still okay?

What were you doing before you crashed into the fence?

Probably get a new bumper from Sewell.

Possibly get HID Projectors for fogs too.

so yea i checked it this morning and the bumber is cracked and bent, fogs are missing, passenger inner fender well is missing, driver side headlight brakets are all broken ( the light kind of just sits there, its not even attatched), and the metal in front of the radiator is kind of bent ( the one that runs horizontal below it, not the the bar that runs vertical in front of it).

yea i think i might go with sewell because they already come painted.

Do NOT return to the scene of the crime for pics of the fence! LOL! Filing with insurance? I remember thinking that I wanted to replace my fogs because mine are chipped and discolored. I was surprised how expensive they were, and decided I could wait a while.

Damn, sucks man. If the bumper isn't damaged, I would get it repainted. As for the other damages, I'd take it to Lexus.

It's more damaged than what I have thought when reading your first post.

I hope you can get that fixed soon. It'll be better if a reputable auto body shop will do the work for you

Good luck and be safe next time.
