My headlights are covered. I ran into a couple installers who said they don't do headlights. Just crossed them off my list.

I didn't get my headlights covered because Lexus recommends against it. I didn't even ask the installer about it.
The work was done at Inivisisheild which is in Drivers Source at 14750 Memorial Dr. Their number is 713-539-6700 and Steve Perez is the owner.

I've had Lexus vehicles for years, waxed the lenses, sealed the lenses, put PPF on the lenses. No problems.

The lamps get a lot of nicks from road debris. If so it anyways. You'll be sorry you didn't.

Do you know if anyone makes precut templates for the lenses so that I can just install them myself? I don't want to bring it back to the installer just for that. You got me thinking that a may want to do this too.

I'd take it back to the installer. With the headlights on any imperfections in the trim are going to stand out...

The only reason installers do not recommend it on headlights is because it can cause them to crack due to stress. HEAT/COLD causes the headlight to expand and contract. So with the film on it, it can prevent it from doing so. Seen a few headlights get cracked from films. But IMHO, I would still put the film on it. It will help prevent yellowing of the headlight from the sun. It is also recommended to wax your lights with the car, because they also have a clear coat on them that can fail.

I installed the spoiler yesterday so here are some pictures with the spoiler. It's a pretty subtle look as it blends in well and does not distract from the lines of the car. I installed per factory instructions so I did drill the trunk and bolt it on. Everything was pretty easy except I did have a couple of the tape tabs that broke off when I was trying to remove them. The tabs had actually separated from the tape backing based on the way it was packed from Lexus. They stuck to the foam protective packing in the box. I had to put them back on before I installed the spoiler so that I could get to them once it was mounted with the bolts. Bottom line is that it installed and lined up perfectly.

How much did the spoiler set you back? Did it come painted? Car looks great!
