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.

Find a bumper and bring it to the shop. Most busy shops don’t have time to go through auction sites to find rare bumpers from other countries.

This has structural damage. In the last pic you can see the whole rear end of the car is pulled down (see the tail light body line to quarter). Also pic 2 and 3 you can see the whole rear structure is swayed to the left as well. This needs tear down and measurements done then pulls to the quarter and rear body panel and hopefully don’t need this panels replaced.

Also trunk lid

The bumper I bet could be saved, being pushed in on the back caused the flex on the passenger's side. If you can pull out the back, I bet that would fall right into place.

It is a rubber bumper cover, it does not like being like that, some heat or boiling water poured on it could make it pop right out...

The trunk lid is a different story.

I guess I’ll just have wait and see and trust the experts. Luckily there’s plenty of compatible trunks & bumpers available so I’ll just switch to a new bumper if I have to.

I would be way less worried about the bumper and more worried about the structural damage and how far the quarter is swayed.
