Was about to go buy one on eBay and looks like the only ones left any distributor has are the ones with the parking sensor holes. If anyone has a source for this bumper your help would be greatly appreciated!

Just for reference this is the one I am looking for. I already have the lip just need the bumper =)

There's this.

Thanks but that is the facelifted version. Doesn't quite fit right around the headlights and wouldn't fit the lip I have already picked up =/

It fits pre-facelift. But your lip is probably still a problem.

True it does fit but with a minor gap around the bottom of the headlight due to the difference in the shape of the headlights.

Got word a distributor may be getting the pre-facelift back in stock in a few weeks. Hopefully that holds true because these seem to be harder to find one reason or another.

Ugh...still looking for this bumper in the original post here. If anyone has a line on these please send it my way. I already have the lip as I was hoping to have the bumper back in stock but things aren't looking promising on eBay =/

Any idea on how difficult is it to install something like this? My bumper was damaged in a fender bender, wondering if this is more cost efficient than replacing with stock through a body shop the dealer uses or the dealer.

It's not overly difficult to DIY. I pulled the parts blowout of the front bumper and it is pretty straightforward to remove and install. Depending on the severity of your fender bender you may need additional components other than just the bumper for your replacement (i.e. if there are damaged parts behind the bumper).

I am sure there are videos of how to remove and install the new bumper as well out there I just didn't really look for any after seeing the schematic for the front bumper. The hardest part so far has been finding the bumper I want for sale...
