Showing posts with the label bumpers

I got my bumpers repainted!

So when I got the Sienna, I did not see the glue in the right fender/bumper area. Anyways, after I purchase the van, they give me the work order where Dublin Toyota spent 3K fixing the van and replacing stuff. It nagged me, but when my father in law messed up the rear bumper, I was heated. I ordered OEM bumpers from Toyota. Finally, I was able to get them painted and put on. $1500 outta pocket! I was waiting for one more part, a bracket and it came the next day. ------------------------------- Then a closer look at the shitty work that was done before I got the van.

He backed up and some how backed into a concrete wall next ...
