Who has it and how do u like it
I bought my isf cpo and it has it but the edges are lifting everywhere and it doesn't come with front bumper protection? Isn't that the most important part lol

If you do a lot of highway driving, keep it on, or have it replaced.

Also, the clear bra should have come with its own warranty when it was installed..have the dealer look it up according to your vin...they would just reinstall it for you.

the oem lexus film kit does not inlude the bumper.

here's the description from lexus:
"Designed to cover the hood, fenders and side mirror housings, paint protection film helps maintain both peace of mind and vehicle resale value."

My clear bra was OEM and it had the bumper done too...maybe they changed it since 08?

Got it on mine too! Front hood, side mirror and top of back bumper. Edges are not lifting but they do turn black around the edges due to dirt. If you do take them off, please let us know how it goes.

I had a clear bra installed on my car not via the dealership but by a 3M installer.

I did the following:

Whole front and rear bumpers,
Half the front hood/bonnet,
Bottom edge of side skirts,
Around the wheel well,
Both side mirrors,
and the edge of the doors where they hit when you open then up against a wall or another car.


I do have some lifting of the bra, but not much, the most obvious place are on the side mirrors but other than that they're not noticeable.

Wow really? Mine came with it on the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors and trunk. Thats odd.

Technically no vehicles have OEM film on the front of the car. They are installed when the vehicle comes into port. Typically its jut the hood, fenders, and mirrors since they are fairly easy and can be done in volume. Bumpers take a lot of time so they are not done at the port. Some dealerships have in house installers though that will add in the bumper. Lexus typically uses 3M film though which is one of the worst films out there.

Can u elaborate why the 3M tape is one of the worst?

i heard 3M yellows over the years

just updating you guys..i went to the dealership and they too agree'd its peeling and have placed a special order on new film and going to call me back when it gets in so i can set up and appointment to get it installed. i wish the film covered the whole hood and the fender but hey cant complain about free... after that gets done im going to get clear bra installed on the front bumper as i do alot of driving

My F is 08 but i got hood, the whole front bumper, fenders, all doors edges and mirrors.

So clear bra through dealership or independent shop?

I just noticed that I got a bunch of annoying white spots all over the lower bumper (visible if I bend down).
Is clear bra worth it then?

Mine have Lexus logo on the side. Is that OEM?

clear bra is one of the best investment for your car's paint, but getting the OEM one is one of the worst bang for your buck investment. I think any reputable shop will be able to give you a much better deal while giving you more coverage because it'll be custom to your car

How much of a hassle is it dealing with the edges lifting up + darkening?

My hood has a couple rocks chips here and there but nothing noticeable. Should I cover it up with clear bra before it gets any worse? I'm most likely doing CB on the lower bumper area since I scratched it up pretty badly anyway (respray then CB)
