Default Lexus Rear Bumper Applique

I'm debuting whether to leave it on or remove it. What you guys think? If I remove it will it leave adrasive on the bumper?

I like it at first, but as it getting older I can see all the dirt all around the edges.

Take it off. It's cheesy and just collects dirt and wax build up around the edges. An owner who truly takes good care of his vehicle will not scuff the bumper loading things.

A lot of 2IS's come with it from the factory. Its added in the MSRP so might as well keep it on

My car came with one, and it was the first time people saw it on the boards but i had to take it off when i painted my rear bumper

That's what gets me the most about items like these. They are slapped on the car at the dealership and the mark-up is 300%.

The applique does kind of stand out on lighter colors more than dark colors. It looks horrible on white.
