The Nano Fusion comes in 60 and 72" rolls. They are able to cover the entire hood. No line running across the hood and front fenders! I pad $1200 for the bumper, full hood, both front fenders, headlights, door edges, and door handle wells. Can't say enough about it and it's well worth the price IMO. No rock chips and having to worry about repainting and matching it up.
It sounds awesome. I will get it as soon as I buy it. How much do you think I should pay for this service? I should I provide the film, namely buy it from the internet and take it to the bodyshop?

And what do you think about the spoiler? Everyone in my family hates it and I have no special feelings toward it. Anybody thinks it is aesthetically appealing?

And the parking radar, can I buy one from amazon and take it to a shop for installation?

Door edge guards $115[1]
Paint protection film [2] $429[1]
Rear bumper applique $76[1]
Rear spoiler $389[1]

Wheel locks $73[1]

Cargo net - envelope $64[1]
Carpet cargo mat $105[1]
I think those are MSRP prices; I'm sure you can get them lowered or part of a package deal. I don't think you should put after market parking assist in your car. They look pretty bad to me.

I've the rear bumper applique, rear spoiler, wheel locks, and cargo net. The applique has the Lexus logo reflect off the bumper, kinda cool; the rear spoiler looks nice, but looks fine without it; the wheel locks I heard it can be broken pretty easily, but better than nothing?; the cargo net, never used it, if you got a lot of grocery and don't want them to move around ..

Get a cargo net from eBay and save $50.
