Exhaust tip broke off
I was walking out of the grocery store and admiring my ride as I usually do and looked down and saw only 3 tips. I quickly said to myself WTF. My baby only has 3 eyes in the back. I ordered some exhaust tips off Ebay and when you put them side by side to the OEM they were a little smaller so I sent them back. **** I did not however know Lexus wanted $400 just for the 1 side. OUCHH... I would have replaced both sides for about $138 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-11-Lexus-...-/131317832685). Still thinking about it. Can anyone tell me how to replace exhaust tips for the F? It looks like I have to remove the bumper. Not sure. Is this common with the exhaust tips falling off?
I believe the car wash was the culprit.

Someone pried one of my tips off while parked at the mall. Pry marks were visible where the tips weld on to the housing. Unbelievable that another F owner would think of doing this. I doubt it tho, at least thats what I'm saying to myself.

1) If you are under full CPO warranty, they should cover it, the welds rust off.
2) Those ebay tips are aftermarket and are garbage
3) I know you are in Georgia, but if you attempt to buy these and replace them yourselves, you might need the screws and mounting brackets as well, I daily drive my car in Northern Illinois (snow/salt) and my screws were rusted in and broke off when I attempted to remove them by hand. I should have used an impact to remove them.
