Found an affordable bumper freshly painted but not sure what color it is.
Seller is unsure buts its a lexus paint code pearl white.

Is it starfire pearl or glacier frost mixa or whatever the other pea white is?

Looks like Starfire to me. This isn't Crystal white because that color isn't available on 2009-2010 facelift.

If it's "freshly painted" I doubt it's going match your car even if you have SFP.

Starfire pearl for sure and definitely won't match regardless. Sfp is one of the hardest colors to match when painting

For $150 you cant go wrong, thats how much it cost just to paint it.

Sfp is hard to match. I had a hard time gettin mine matched, but if its close to you I would give it a shot.

Picked it up yestarday, installed today. Much better then I thought, in fact my other bumper looked whiter and this one flows better with the hood and fenders.

Feels so good to have a mint car all around and my gfx is finally installed correctly.
Other bumper had 4 rusty holes, a groove from an overtiv tighten plate mount.
Buttom was black cause the guy who I bought it from probably liked curbs too much.

Little I knew, the guy is a professional painter and he painted it for his daughter but it obviousl didnt fii good witt 08 grille so he sold it.

He told me he painted it wih love so hopefully it stays nice.

I need a clear shield on the bumper aswell now. Anyone know of a place selling just the bumper shield?
