I purchased 3m vinyl gloss film 24"x 10' and I applied with heat. It's not perfect but it'll do.
It takes a couple attempts to get it perfect. Only way for me to do it was with the grill/trim off the car. I ended up wrapping mine 3 times, third time was perfect.
We finally have some nice weather with no rain in the forecast for at least a week. With car washes closed, including the do-it-yourself kind, I decided to take it through a touchless drive through car wash near me (allegedly one of the only ones in SoCal) and I have to say, I'm really impressed with how it turned out:
Installed a battery tender because it's sitting idle so much. Came with clamps and ring terminal leads to install permanently.
Battery was dead over the last two weeks, maybe because of something I did, but either way: there's lots of sitting idle for the months ahead.
I got Battery Tender on mine for years now. No issues, battery always crank strong even after sitting for weeks. You can run the wire underneath cowl and let it hang out beneath the wiper. Never need to pop the hood.
The paint chipped off of my lip this winter so I bought another one and just picked it up from the paint shop today. Hopefully put it on tomorrow and post the old one up for sale

That's what you get when you use your GS as a snow plow.. LOL... I remembered this pic...
Got the new lip installed in about 20 minutes and ready to go for hopefully at least another year. The old one is for sale if anybody's looking for a lip that needs painting.

Yea they didn't do the proper prep work for the plastic that's why the paint failed. When I wrapped my front bumper I removed the middle parking sensors wrapped it, then I bought the black surround for the sensor from Lexus for a few bucks, and wrapped the sensor part separately. Comes out looking a lot cleaner.
Finally got around to painting my rear calipers so they match my fronts that I did last summer. Well I was at it I put my summer wheels in tires back on the car. Now it just needs a good wash and wax.
