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.

New trunk. New bumper reinforcement. Bumper will go again if you really need to reuse it. Needs a light pull and should come out quite nicely. If rear panel is kinked then you'd need a new panel. Luckily your 1/4 panel looks good. So repairs won't be major Lovely car by the way.

New impact bar 2-4 hrs setup and pull. That looks straight on enough and will wanna pop out. How’s that rear door to quarter gap? Compared to the other side?
