Bumpers and other OEM parts

After my daughter successfully closed the garage door onto the rear bumper of my 03 TL, I am looking for a new one. Any good suggestions on where to buy?

The cheapest I found was Ray Laks.. for about 220 shipped. I'm in need of one too. But if the damage isn't bad... ur body shop might be able to mold it back to shape and fix it up for you without ne noticeable flaws for you.

yea thet could try and u body filler but everytime i have gotten a ding deep enough in a bumper on the others cars it had to be replaced...because if u do use body filler the first time to bump into something even if its slightly its prob will crack.........go to ur body shop if u hadnt already and get a price cause keep in mind if u get a bumper online u still have 2 pay shipping then take it to a body shop and have to pay labor and paint costs and in the end how much can u really save if its 20 is that worth all the hassell but if were talkin 75-100 maybe ....but its up 2 u because i have tried to use the online parts route and after priceing part and shipping then taking it to a bosy shop and paintin it it wasnt much savings......plus by the time u even get the part shipped 2 u....it may be already done from the body shop...but its ur choice man peace

if there just scrapes they can fill it with plastic weld (it bonds to plastic and is flexable. it wont crack) i would see what a body shop says
