So, this happened last night....

Hit a baby Bambi last night at about 85mph. I tried my best to miss him without any drastic moves and alllmost missed him. Unfortunately I got him with the corner of my bumper and am now in need of a new one. Gonna need fog lamps and another air filter as well. I just replaced the air filter last week too mannnnn anyways where's the best place to get a nice quality bumper? Maybe even a more stylish upgrade? Any suggestions/directions appreciated. I've got a 1k deductible on my insurance so I'm hoping to avoid spending that much

for a car this age, best bet would be junk yard.
check out car-part.com to find one locally

there is a tiny gap between the headlight and fender so something moved, but fk it, just replace the bumper and call it a day

Ye ye she's 10 yrs old but she's still my baby. I'm in a real small town for another year or so and there are no TL's in the 2 junk yards we have and none next town over so I'm looking for one online. I didn't notice the gap, I'll take a better look at it this morning. Thanks.

I ordered this for my 2004 TL. Someone in a parking lot tagged the corner of my bumper and tried rip it off.

Bumper paint was a perfect match, you just send them the paint code from your door jam. Fit was perfect.

IMO: Not a bad price at all, for an after-market cover. painted to match. txcharvel, appears to be well satisfied, with the fit.

That's not a bad price at all. Thanks for the find. Looks like that particular ad is for 04-06 though. Kinda thinking this could be a good excuse to get an upgraded bumper, maybe an Aspec or something

Aspec is a Lip attached to your base bumper. Cost a lot more too!
