Replacement OEM Front bumper
Is it possible to get a already painted oem front bumper from the dealer? Just seeing if it would be cheaper to do that than paying $600 out of pocket for a replacement bumper and paint at a body shop.

Not that I know of. Even from the dealer OEM bumpers are only primed.
Best bet would be to check local junk yards or online. Or just suck it up and order one. There are some on eBay as well (as "new, primed" ones but I think they're generics - still probably OK, just not an actual OEM part).

The body shop told me that I had a choice between oem and aftermarket bumpers. It was a $70 difference and I would rather have OEM as I know it fits. I know that $600 isn't a bad price for removal/install and paint.

Well the bumper cover itself is about $200 new (MSRP is like $260, that's a TRDSparks price). So ya... I guess that's not an awful price. I would think more like $450 or $500 - but I haven't ever had much body work done.

I just ordered this one from ebay for $288.99 shipped and painted to match (I used bing.com cashback and I will get back $17.60). Of course they only ship to the nearest greyhound so you have to go pick it up but there is one close to me so no biggie. I looked at the guys feedback and he has alot of satisfied customers so I figured for less than $300 its an awesome deal. I'll let you know on how it fits once I get it on. Also picked up some vrd grilles so I can pop them on before I even put the new bumper on.

It's listed as "OEM direct from Toyota" and he's got 2500+ positive feedback for fitment and color matching. I'm considering picking up a rear bumper there. $450 shipped and painted. Local body shop can get a bumper for $250. I'm assuming it'd be $300+ for paint and clear?

I actually just got back from a local body shop regarding bumper stuff (quotes). Going to make a new post on it though.
As a reference from him, he said just to prep/paint a bumper would be $250 - which I didn't think was too bad.

What most places will do is paint the bumper the actual color and then blend in the parts around it. Some paint fades more than others though - it's hard to really gauge.

Taking it to a shop is always the *best* option but it's also always the most expensive. The $600 I was quoted did not involve any blending whatsoever. That was simply for prepping and painting the bumper cover. Luckily for me, my quarters were repaired less than a year ago, so fade shouldn't be that much of an issue. If it's horribly off I have 2 options: 1) Call this company and tell them the color is off or 2) Learn from my mistake and take it to the shop. After reading through about 1000 reviews, they seem to match the color very well. I'm not expecting it to be perfect, just close enough. This isn't a show car, haha.

My bumper cover that I ordered off ebay came in yesterday morning,I picked it up after work and installed it and the seibon hood I got from illstreet last night and today,Started last night and finished a little while ago.The paint finish is Great the fit is a little tight but it fits.The shipping was fast they just put it on the bus the night (late at night) before but like I said I'm in Georgia and they are in North Carolina so the farther away it will take longer.I will try to get some pics up as soon as possible

I was able to get a new OEM bumper for $100 and then painted for $175 with removal of my old lip and put onto the new one. Didn't have it done, but that is the price. It's set at that.
