Fixable? Or new front bumper?

Here's a couple of pics of the before and after on my car.

What lip is that?

edit: looks like GReddy gracer

[sonoobish]

that looks exactly like what happened to my car great comparison, thanks for the pics. the lip looks really good

Would be better if it was painted, that's a lot of black.

[D.Scrye]

Yep, totally feel your pain on this. That one is, indeed, the GReddy Gracer (try saying that five times fast). I considered having it painted, but I figured I'd just bonk into something and scratch it all to hell.

just got word from the dealership service guy said he just needs approval from his service manager to do the work free of charge, hope it happens without problems!

[D.Scrye]

Oooh *crosses fingers*

That thing really is pretty tough. I just managed to get stuck on a parking bumper thing, like a moron, and nothing seems to have been damaged. I'll be inspecting further when I have more time

im still waiting on word from the dealership

[D.Scrye]

Yep. I'm on site with a client, and managed to get the only spot in the garage with a bumper. I'll check out that camera.

Possibly a body shop could do a repair of the plastic with epoxy.

I drove over a parking bumper/stop made of concrete...rebar was sticking up. When I backed up to leave, the rebar caught the underside edge of bumper and ripped it open.

Most likely a common occurrence on these cars, as they have just 4.9 inches of ground clearance...and very difficult to tell, from the driver's seat, just exactly where the front of the car is...when pulling up to a parking bumper. Wish these cars had a camera at the front of the car.

Attached pic of a similar parking lot bumper...

Ouch that looks painful. One of the reasons why I always park tail in. You never know whats below your bumper

So! good news, after a pretty big hastle and a lot of phone calls, he was reluctant but they are going to replace my bumper free of charge. Dublin Toyota in california gave some trouble but all is well because they are taking care of me.

OP here's a website with part numbers and pricing if you want to replace your bumper.
