Typically you'd need to have it ordered through a body shop since they sell them unpainted, and they'd have to match the paint on your car.

damn i live in a small city so looking for a nice body shop is hard.
i am looking at this site that the chat operator, my dealership, gave me and i think i found one but cant see if its the one im looking because they dont have photos.

thanks anyway ill keep looking

With that kind of damage there is a good chance you misaligned the fenders, or caused damage behind the bumper. Take it to a shop.

i dont know men but i can upload a photo of the damages

and i wonder if i should tell my insurance about this or i could just find parts for it and take it to a body shop?

[Oakhenshield]

After hours of searching and calling my dealer which is not answering coz i think theyre close coz its sunday..

villagescionparts.com
and i found the things i need front bumper and hood,i just dont know if should get the covers only or also get the other parts that needs to go with the covers like the bolts and stuff..

This is what insurance is for... You paid for it, use it. There's a possibility that there's much more damage than you think there is. Sure, you could put a band-aid over it now, but you'll most likely run into problems down the road.

I don't understand why people pay so much money for insurance to cover them in cases like these... but then don't use it.

I dunno, I paid 3500 out of pocket once when I had a single car accident. I don't think a single car accident should be reported to insurance if the damage is not that much. But if you can't afford it what choice do you have?

Single car accident is a huge red flag to insurance.

[aznatama]

I have no idea what the numbers are for insurance, but assuming insurance premium goes up $50/mo (which is a LOT for just one minor accident), and stays up for ~3yrs before dropping back down. That's $1800 more spent on insurance over 3 yrs.

Compare this to spending 3500 up front (likely more in OP's case, if he takes it to a good shop and they fix EVERYTHING).

It's a no brainer for me. Small fender benders I'll fix myself. no point w/ 700 in dmg - 500 deductible = 200 out of pocket. But for a large fix like OP's case, I'd file a claim.

Single Vehicle Accidents are not that uncommon... swerving to avoid deer, for example. But since OP already told the world that he fell asleep at the wheel...

If we don't have anyone parting out in the forum with the parts you are looking for I would suggest eBay. I was just on there last night and someone is parting out some ultramarine blue (from what it looked like) on eBay. I did see the support bumper but I don't remember the bumper molding or hood.

Otherwise, what may be best is purchasing any pieces you can find, sanding it, prime it, and then bring it to an auto body place to have it painted. OR you can have it plasti dipped or poweder coated. You could possibly go with a nice carbon fiber aftermarket hood too. You have many choices. Best of luck.

i tried to look for it again and i dont see any ultramarine bumper most of the results are foglights and lips i did see a bumper its black and has scratched on it. actually im looking at this site villagescionparts (google) its like they have everything the only thing i dont know is that if i need to buy also the bolts and stuff for the bumper. i also called toyota care and they said they can provide it for $380 something, no bolts and unpainted.
