Default Is This How My Front Bumper is Supposed to Look?

Some guy backed into my last week and had to get my front bumper replaced. Took it to a Lexus dealership and just picked it up from having the bumper replaced.

I noticed there are two groove type lines on either side of the bumper. I have never noticed this before so wasn't sure if this was how it was supposed to look.

I have a 2015 is350 f sport. Pics below. (I'm talking about those lines right past the check mark headlights)

This car has so many curves and lines I keep seeing new things all the time. Sometime it looks like someone hit my car but it was just the way it looks.

It's funny. I noticed this today on my IS. At first I thought it was bend or something.

Yes that's happened to me many times. I'm coming from a vw. The IS350 has so many lines... I mean seriously even the rear fender is bent just so, it kinda flows into the rear tires. Like my cars got them hips...sexy, very sexy.
