    What is best way to get a new rear bumper cover? The auto body shop wants like $700. to refinish and repaint it.

    Can I not order one from Toyota already factory painted or something?

    Contact LKQ and see if they have one from a vehicle that is totaled in the front in your color.

    Thanks, looks like I can search on their site. Do you know how I can tell the paint color? It doesn't seem to list that.

    The best way? Have someone else's insurance pay for it.
