If it's on the car when you bought it, you might as well just leave it on there they charged you an extra $69 as an installed option

I took delivery of my 09 GFM in December 08 and as the sale manager was showing me the car because they had put chrome rims on it, i asked him to take that bumper aplique off. He took it off and it just left a bit of glue on the bumper which you can wipe off with any solvent. I did not like it because I could see dirt getting underneath it and around the edges and wax too. I too thought it was cheesy....

I actually ordered it on my special-order IS. I also got massive clear bra, and they just clear bra'd the back. I missed the logo at first, but my personalized license plate would overwhelm it anyway. I just liked the fact that it had the official logo on it.

I agree...take it off...it's the worst idea they've come up with....it's for people older that 60 that need to DRAG their ****** out of the trunk and onto the bumper....if it leaves a sticky residue, clean it off with mineral spirits or alcohol....if you're gonna do it, do it soon....there will be a color change of the paint the longer it stays on.....it's UV protected. I spoke with a saleman at Seattle Lexus and he said it's worthless and a waste of money to get one....unless you drag ****** onto your bumper...lol

So you're saying that the paint clear coat is UV protection aslo? So having a double layer of UV protection won't make a difference? That's like saying suntan lotion of SP10 is the same as SP40....I do body work on cars that have clear bra applications....there is a difference in the shade of color when it's removed....it's not like black and white, but when in the sun, you can see a very slight change in color....but I'm sure you've done more than I have, so I guess you would know better.
