Factory bumper paint and finish sucks
Anybody"s front end all chip up easy or is it just me,because my GS only has 7,000 miles on it,and i never ever drive close to anybody.
I'm thinking of after i buy rmm front kit have it put on then take it to a pro and have them put that 3M clear mask on.Has any body install that 3M stuff,and how effective is it for the money.
Any reply is welcome thanks.

heard of this issue a lot....
never had that problem here on guam...
the only time my paint chipped/scratched was when this median/island popped out of nowhere and hit my front end
remind me to watch out for those things

Mach III just did mine this last weekend. Figured I would get some protection on my recently painted bumper, hood and mirrors. And I have what can only be described as a challenging aftermarket bumper. Great product and absolutely outstanding work. 
Pictures next week.

I had this problem a lot when i lived "in the country" because i lived on back roads, and there was gravel on them, and i had a hard time not chipping mine up. since i've moved, no more problems with chipping, mostly just tar!

I have the clear protective film in the front of the car, bumper, hood, and even the turn mirrors. It really does help! Lexus installs them and mine was already on my car when I bought it.
My parents had it installed on their RX 300.
You can keep it on forever or have a new one installed when you want but my car is a 98 and it looks good.
