Tear in my Beer
Just noticed this today in my ‘23. I moved from beer to bourbon, Buffalo Trace take me away.
Sadly the entire 7 foot panel will have to be replaced.
The car is unprovable until I get the claim processed as the high speed wind could/would cause the broken piece to flex into the tire.

That's not your PPF in a square like that is it?

Finally got the right people to look at my car.
The licensed Lexus collision center has given me a total replacement quote $1525.
The great news - The entire piece comes directly from Lexus Japan PAINTED from the factory. It will be impossible to tell my baby was ever hurt.

I'll chime in here, I had this exact mark on my LC as well when I first bought it on the driver side, I had it fixed (not replaced) out the door was 800, looks brand new (with factory PPF installed) with perfect color match (infrared).

I originally had mine fixed (not replaced). Fiberglass welding with a piece of metal glued behind it.
Apparently not strong enough to withstand speeds of over 130mph (not saying I ever did that)
