http://www.msnusers.com/2000focusse/shoebox.msnw?Page=1

Heres the link to my pics....Dont know what happend- But Im wondering about the lower lip of my bumper- Is it re-paintable?- I ask this because I thought I read someware that the lower bumper piece is replacable by scion as color coded part- and is painted from the factory...

any ideas?

yeah check with your local dealer......but not sure if they warranty that, i know they warranty if your paint is peeling but not if it got hit.

I know its re-paintable- And this is for sure a non-warranty claim (meaning- I dont expect Toyota to pay for someone eles hitting my box)

Im asking if the lower lip piece comes painted from the factory?!?!

I got rear ended recently and the body shop said the bumpers and cladding have to be match-painted. Nothing comes in factory colors. Too bad.

Thanks for the info and advice- Im thinking at this point that someone on thier bike hit my box! If it was hit by a car- thier would have been more damage than just scuffs, ( little ping on hood, and deep sratches all over) -im thinking a bike hit it because of the upper damage (handles, and lower =tires and pedals mabey)

When I find out what punk kid did this- Im going to break thier F-ING legs!!

I feel for you man. We just got our box back from the body shop. A big Expedition decided to make a right turn from the left hand lane right into the side of the vehicle. My wife and son were okay - but I was ____ed!!!!

Is that your front bumper? If so I needed the same peice when some dick decided to leave a fence post with concrete on the end of it in the middle of the road one night.

That part is $225 shipped from McGeorge parts or about $299 from the dealer, I know because I called them and also went to two local dealers. and they do come painted already..

Looks like a simple install and the guy at mc george said it was just 4 clips that attach to the upper bumper.

I feel you pain man.
Some punk broke the glass in my side mirror.

Fortunately I was able to replace just the glass.

Hi, my names Skeeterflea and I have _____ tits. (Fight Club)

We sound like a support group. Some old man was trying to squeeze behind me and ripped my rear bumper cover a new _______. I have a post in classifieds, but it's probable 30 pages back by now. I was looking for a body kit to replace the whole back bumper but there doesn't seem to be many out there. So I might have to fork over the $527 dollars out of my pocket for a new OEM bumper.
