Hi all! I'm a long time lurker to the forums, and I recently picked up a IS350 in GFM as a replacement car.
The previous owner repainted the front bumper due to substantial rock-chips, people backing up into the bumper, and etc, but the colour was really off. The difference of colour between the bumper and the hood/fender is really obvious when the sun hits it. I am thinking of picking up the newer F-Sport bumper and would like to get some suggestions on where to get it painted for good colour-matching in the SF Bay Area. I used to drive a 2006 TSX (also in white), and had the front/rear painted thrice, but not one shop that I went to were able to match it, let alone perfectly. Any suggestion would help, and would love to see photos of the painted products. Thanks!!!

If u r only Looking for front bumper, go to Sewellparts.com. If u don't know yet already. Register with ur CL name and get discount on the bumper and all the other products. GFM is really hard to match.. I bet u 90% of the shop can barely match it color. ( correct me if I'm wrong)

In SF, go to Dynamic Automotive 1850 Cesar Chavez Street...415 695-0982. Mike does excellent work. You will see a few Endless Projects cars at his shop.

Yup, that's who I would recommend in the San Jose Area...Tony and Tracy are good people and their quality are good as well. SF will be Dynamic Automotive.

Probably around $400 for a basic Lexus color so not sure about GFM
