Default 2015 is250 F sport Front Bumper Replacement

So, long story short - front bumper needs to be replaced (not painted).

I haven't really shopped around yet - but what are my options here? A quick search online (again to to in depth) yielded no sites where i could buy a OEM bumper.

Should I take it to the dealer first? (Its a lease). Also - what total cost am i going to be looking at here?

Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated here!

I think you could get an OEM bumper locally but they don't come pre-painted so you have to get a paint shop to paint them.

The more expensive route, which maybe possible is to get the factory painted bumper from shop in Japan who would order them from Lexus Japan. If I recall, the bumper comes pre-cut out meant for the Japanese licence plates and may not be able to request it non-cut.

you can get aftermarket f-sport bumpers on eBay for ~$500. or you can get salvage pulloffs and refurbish them for about the same.

I bought my OEM bumper cover from the dealer for $320, aftermarket is like $300. Not worth the hassel of grills not fitting and spurs on the urethane.

LOL What do you mean should? Why? Meade Lexus. You have to paint the cover still and buy the grill's but if your looking for just the cover their not that expensive. Lexus changes their prices monthly so you might get a different quote. I ordered mine in Jan '16.

i had to replace the front bumper on my is250. the bumpers from the 2014 and the 2015 is the same so it shouldn't be hard to find one. when I had to replace mine my headlight was cracked as well so check that just to be sure because once you remove the bumper you may or may not have alignment problems. the front bumper new cost around 1300.
