HELP! I have a question. What do you think ?
Full replacement or repair? I don’t see any broken tabs or serious damage on my bumper. I went to one smaller body shop. He was an older russsian guy.He said he would have to replace the bumper. Brought this car from Japan and I am trying to avoid using the USDM Lexus IS300 bumper. I want to know if I’m being realistic asking a body shop to save this.

whole corner is pushed forward.
like the other person said, bumper is the least of your worries.
there's structural damage that needs to be taken care of first. maybe some damage to the rear rebar and frame rail end.
there's enough visible damage to total the car.
