What is available on the big A as I refer to it is sometimes astounding, but bumpers or just bumper covers? And of course, what are you looking for, the cosmetic part, the cover, or the real bumper hidden underneath?
Cover. They ship them folded up to save on shipping which is novel.
So I tried, and failed, to buy a "Left side bumper retainer". Apparently the parts fiche is missing part numbers. The diagram at Olathe toyota (or any toyota site) shows '52563A' when in reality there is a second portion of the part number.
Anyone know how to figure out the second portion? The parts guy was useless, said there were 2 (limited vs sport/sr5 perhaps?) and was unable to cross reference based on the model. We went round and round a couple times till I had the idea to ask if he had either item. "Nope". Okay well it doesn't matter then.
My other cars are usually BMW and this is certainly one area BMW wins. Realoem for finding parts is amazing whereas the Toyota parts fiche is quite literally stuck in the 1970s, just online.
Anyway, if anybody knows how to figure out that second section of numbers I might revisit this in the afternoon and try to overnight the part but otherwise I'm out of time on this and I'll have to fabricate something myself.
Here's the fiche screenshot. Part is center left. Look at all dem pixels!

Found the part, it's 52563-35010. Apparently its in a light grey font on the product listing pages but not on the diagrams. Oooookay. Anyway, I found a cross reference and it shows the part is 03-05 all 3 trims. So I have no clue why my local dealer thought there were 2 parts. It didn't seem likely at the time that different trims would require a different retaining bracket.
Anyway, nobody online shows 52563-35010 in stock anywhere so I think I am out of luck getting it overnighted.

Ebay has plenty of 52563-35010. Getting an ebay seller to overnight will be a problem.
I don't mess with ebay. Had 4 bad orders in a row and support did not care at all.

Yep. Upper left.
I'm out of time at this point so I'll just rig it together however. Got a road trip departing early friday.
