Replying to: luxosport (Jun 05, 2006 5:09 pm) A traditional bodyshop will want to remove your bumper, respray the entire bumper and reassemble it. You probably wouldn't get away for much less than $700 if a Toyota dealer does this. I know, I had a scrape on my wife's Sienna's rear bumper and I almost had a heart-attack when I received the repair quote for a small scratch. Alternatively, you could use a bumper repair service. These guys repair just the damaged area in-place with excellent results, and it could end up costing you about $100. Look for a bumper repair service in your area.

Replying to: luxosport (Jun 05, 2006 7:30 pm) Welcome! From your accent I can deduce that you are from Dallas, so here is a link to a mobile repair service in your area. http://www.bumperman.com/ Replies to this message: luxosport (Jun 06, 2006 7:35 pm) alan_s (Jun 07, 2006 7:10 am)

Replying to: alan_s (Jun 05, 2006 8:22 pm) Originally from Brooklyn, NY but yep....now a Dallas resident. I did manage to find a local "bumperman" and I'll visit soon. Incidentally, my Toyota dealer did suggest repainting the entire bumper for $700.00!! Thanks for your support Alan. Replies to this message: alan_s (Jun 07, 2006 7:10 am)

Replying to: luxosport (Jun 05, 2006 5:09 pm) Just installed the backup Camera License plate CCD camera (no drilling) with the G-net system. I now have every option the Lexus' have. I installed to prevent this! Cost less than 500.00 for everything. Replies to this message: luxosport (Jun 07, 2006 4:42 pm)

Replying to: neil5 (Jun 07, 2006 3:01 pm) Now that's "hindsight". As it turned out the Limited we bought was the one that had just been delivered on a transport truck while we were negotiating. It didn't have the rear bumper "radar" for that purpose. Be careful of your front bumper in your case Neil!
#140 of 162 Avalon side moldings & laser cruise control by lward Jun 21, 2006 (4:54 am)
I am purchasing a 2006 Limited and am trying to decide whether to have the body side molding. Also, wondering about the Laser cruise control. Any advice on pros and cons? Thanks Replies to this message: jwhagen (Jun 21, 2006 7:55 am)

Replying to: lward (Jun 21, 2006 4:54 am) I have the Laser cruise on my Limited. Personally, I don't care for it but have also found I am in the minority. With the Laser you have the option of using it or a traditional cruise. What I don't like is if you are on Laser and you want to bump up another MPH, it takes you up in increments of 5 MPH instead of 1.   For instance... You enable the cruise at a speed of 62 MPH. You tell it to bump up a little faster and you suddenly accelerate to 65, not 63 or 64. Bump up again and you go to 70. Not sure why they did that.   Otherwise it works okay, but I personally wouldn't get it again for the reason stated above.   John
