Default Front bumper question

When removing the front bumper, the radar in the center logo has to be disconnected, correct? When putting the bumper back on, does the radar need to be recalibrated or will it just work as expected?

Peeing in the wind with this one, but I think it can just be reconnected. I believe only the camera in the windshield needs to be recalibrated in the event of something like windshield replacement. I have heard of extreme cases where the parking sensors and blind spot sensors need to be recalibrated after something like an accident, but I have yet to hear the radar cruise sensor needed to be recalibrated.

I think the Camera on the wing mirrors need recalibrating if changed as well. I heard about $1600 for a wing mirror replacement, install and calibration..

Lexus repair manual states that It needs to be recalibrated when the bumper is removed, however, you will probably experience that it is not necessary.
