New Bumper Cover
Hey guys.. Well... It happened... Was driving on the highway last night and something from the car in front of me came out from underneath and I didnt have enough time dodge it and BAM!.. it hits my lower left side of my bumper and cracked it pretty bad and also broke my lower grill…
I want to replace the bumper, so does anyone know of any shop(s) in the GTA –Toronto that has replacement bumpers and grills? I will be calling Toyota too see how much they want.. I checked a few US OEM suppliers and the cost of the bumper cover is $180 US, which is a lot less then I was expecting.. But here in Canada, we canuks love to get hosed, so we see what the dealers wants for them P.S.. I took a look at the service manual and it does not seem to be too difficult to change the bumper.. Anyone has any experience they can share with me? Thanks guys! |

It's not difficult. Check out some of the DIY's on installing fog lamps. You have to drop/remove the front bumper to do it.

1. sides just pull out (have to pull firmly) - tabs on the bumper edges fit into slots on the body.
2. Lower screws/tabs self explanatory. 3. Top plastic tabs, push in the center to release the tab. Bumper off!
