Thumbs up LC500 Front Bumper Removal DIY Video

Hey all,

Thank you for sharing. Useful content. Any issues with misalignment of the nose or larger than factory gaps once it was reassembled?

Not at all. It's pretty precise going all back together!

Wow. That does not look fun. But it appears to be well put together.

LOL....You definitely made this look too easy. But my past experience has been that, it is not always as easy as it seems. Clips come out but don't always go back in....Appreciate your attention to detail.

Thank you! It really was not that difficult, just take your time and don't rush things. Cheers!

Default Front bumper removal

i found the part below for $640 at a Lexus dealer and decided to finally pull the plug and buy it because I love carbon fiber. I have been looking at it for over a year and refused to pay $800 which had been the going rate.

The install requires the entire front bumper to be removed along with the grille for removal of the silver lower grille insert and then install of the carbon fiber one. I looked at your you tube video and you make it look easy. I got a quote from my Lexus body shop for $240 to do this and I’m going to have them do it and touch up some paint that was scratched under the bumper.

I would do this on my own but figure if I even scratched anything or had a misalignment issue, in the removal/ reinstall process it would cost over that to fix.

I will have to be extra careful to not run into anything with this on the car.
