Ok so this past December I slid and hit a sign. Not crazy amounts of damage but enough to need a new bumper.

I searched online and found a third part manufactured painted bumper. The name of the seller is "Paint A Part." They are an eBay seller out of Texas They were great with communication and offered the painted bumper plus free shipping for $400. They also have a Facebook page that showcases all their work.

I had small issues with with the fitment of one tab but other than that it was an easy replacement. Granted, I only needed the bumper and didn't have to replace any clips or support pieces or whatever.

Also, those two front plates don't come with, but you can buy those direct from Toyota and paint them yourself.

Anyways, Paint A Part... They are awesome.

does the pain match? because in those pictures its slightly different than the OEM...

 

looks like a pretty good match.

 

it is. It only looks slightly different. I'm wondering if that's really the case, or if it was just the camera's settings and angle.

It looks darker in the first pic than OEM, and looks lighter than OEM in the last two pics. really odd...

And btw, those two squares in the front bumper, did you just reuse your old ones from the old bumper that you hit? Or would those not come off w/o breaking and you had to order new ones from the dealer?

 

When looking at the bumper there's only a SLIGHT difference, but its minor.

As for the plates, they are from the first bumper. The one on the left is factory and the other one was a replacement which I attempted to paint but used the wrong primer so it chipped off. I do have to new ones which I will paint using DuPont perfect match which is a hint lighter than factory and may match the new painted bumper better.
