I am presuming that Seawell gets their parts directly from Japan? I wonder if it would match my car, I have a 2011. Should I worry about color fading issues?

I got rear ended that wasnt that hard but it cost $2800 to fix for a new bumper, new splash guard underneath, some reinforcement parts underneath too. Ned to check those out.

They are hand painted.

Sewell's bumpers are from Lexus USA, which are non-painted. They just sent them to a paint shop to paint them, therefore it is hand painted.

The only way to get the factory painted one is to get it from Lexus Japan.

That's what I'm talking about! I need to know where they sell the Japanese bumpers!

If there's just a little indentation, just fill it up with $5 touchup paint from Sewell. No need to get a whole bumper.

You have to find a source to be able to get them from Lexus Japan. There is a CL vendor which maybe able to do just this. PM me for details.

Keep in mind, it will cost more if you are willing to do this, so don't be surprised about how much it costs to ship it over considering the bumper's size.
