I didn't let them think bumper scrapes were the cause. I made them let me take pictures to prove it wasn't the cause since I have no scrapes and do have severe bumper issues

sorry I thought you didn’t have the issue and were just having them keep an eye on it like some people have done here

In California (and New Mexico where I bought my car) the Lemon Law is applicable when a reasonable number of attempts still fails to fix the problem. Doesn't matter if it's catastrophic or not, it fails to conform as a new vehicle is expected.
I guess in AZ you might be out of luck. A quick glance at the law dowsn't have the same verbiage as CA and NM.

Thats true for Arizona too, I just mean what It was really created for, but consumers have taken advantage of.

Have the bracket replaced under warranty. After enough of them, lexus will get tired of replacing bumper brackets and fix the part.

My RC was exactly 1.5" off the ground in the front and rear. The IS is a monster truck in comparison, and thats a good thing, lol.

When I first showed the bumper to the service rep the first words out of his mouth were something like "yeah that's what happens when you go over curbs and it gets caught". Hence why I made them let me take pictures of the underside on the lift to show that the bumper was pristine underneath. Only had around 1k miles on it at the time.

Eh I'd rather them not take the bumper off until a real fix is in place.

Does anybody have the part number for the bracket? I won't be back until later in the year (2hr round trip for me), but would like to get them to order it and do it along with my second oil change

they won’t be able to preemptively order a warranty part without an open repair order.

drives cars
Also, we had another white IS 500 at the meet last night who I hadn't met before, and I noticed that his car had the front apron separation. It was a 2022.

Not the only place. Every time I talk to someone with a lowered car in our club, the first thing they do is ask me when I am lowering mine. Also, we had another white IS 500 at the meet last night who I hadn't met before, and I noticed that his car had the front apron separation. It was a 2022.
