I can't answer the fitment question -- but have you attempted to pop that out? It's amazing how the cover can recover if it's not cut. Often they require a bit of heat from behind. Buff out the paint.
The paint from the factory is superior in durability to that given in a body shop.

buy a heat gun, and pop that out. pocket the cash. get those marks buffed off.
if you want the best fitment, you'll have to go to a dealership and get OEM. you should be able to purchase a 2016 from your local lexus. anything aftermarket will need work done to it.

I was already wanting to get the 2016 front and rear bumpers for my ct, this just made it possible for me. I could pop it out but I actually really like the spindle grill. Just wanted to make sure the 2016 bumper is compatible without having to buy anything else.

Bought it at $75 a few months ago .. time will tell. I don't think oil will be $40 bucks in 5 years. I own two hybrids and will buy another ... so you know my thinking.
The CT is a nice little car -- it's an appliance. I was willing to spend a bit more for it ... because I know it will get me to 150k with no issues and still be worth something ... plus I get the Lexus ownership perks.
I'm surprised how much our 2011 Prius are worth at 140k -- with almost no out of pocket expenses. One of the Prius was hit on the third day we owned it (White Pearl)-- rear bumper. I took the bumper off and hit it was a heat gun ( I had ordered a few of the clips). It had one edge damaged .. now covered by the OE mudguards that I installed.
If you get to them quick with a heat gun they bounce back -- and the OE paint is very flexible ... and you know it will match. Repainted bumpers don't hold up as well.
