My 03 LC got into a minor fender bender recently with a small car. Vehicle speed during impact was
around 5-10 mph. The damage I can visually see on the LC is as follows
* right headlight cracked (bulbs still work)
* body panel over right wheel dented and crumpled in the front
* right side of bumper cracked and dented.
I twisted and broke off the "hanging" part of the bumper and have continued
to drive around. I have driven the vehicle around 70 miles after the collision
and there seems to be no other issues.
My questions
How do I (if I wanted) go about putting in a ARB (or similar)
bumper when this vehicle is fixed? Do I have to
do this work in two parts where I get fixed everything
but the bumper from a Toyota body shop and then
shop around separately for a bumper ? Or, are there
shops that can install it for you as a part of this
work ? My vehicle repairs will be paid for by insurance.
Do i need to be overly cautious about driving with
a headlight with a crushed cover ( it is raining here)?
If it matters, I am in the SF Bay area.
