Default Help on fixing my front end

Hello all!
Thank you for the warm welcome on my last thread. This is an outstanding community. I am looking for advice/parts to fix my front end. Before I purchased my ISF, the previous owner hit a deer and replaced the bumper with a cheaper one, causing a world of issues with the bumper and whole front end of the car. The front bumper sags bad under the headlights, and it's honestly just falling apart at this point. I know I need a new bumper cover, shock absorber, new headlight clips, and some type of chassis mounted skid plate/ front splitter to keep underneath the bumper supported. I have already readjusted all of the pushed back components from the collision. If anyone has any of these parts for a white 2008 lexus IS-F, or advice on fixing the bumper fitment, please let me know.
Thanks,
Noah

I would buy some new bumper clips as well. They are probably broken and contribute to the saggy bumper, which is actually pretty common on the IS

Your best bet is to look up the parts online. Make a list and start shopping.

Your more then likely going to need to take it to a body shop. Find a reputable one and let them take care of it. The chances of you finding a mint white front bumper are very slim.

Have you looked into the headlight bumper brackets?
