Default NX Rear Bumper Protection Film??

Just purchased our 2024 Lexus NX and I'm looking for some accessories.

On the previous Lexus NX, there was a NX rear bumper protection film that we are can purchase. Can't seem to find it for the newer models. There's the rear bumper protector which the color doesn't match doesn't cover that well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I had PPF installed on the front, mirror caps, door cups and on the rear bumper by an aftermarket firm that specializes in this. Talk to any good one, they have templates for the car. Mine extends along the top of the bumper and down the bumper a bit, with a cut out for the factory rubber strip on top. It's almost invisible but protects the top and edge of the bumper.

Thanks, I will be getting PPF this Friday in fact. I'm thinking getting PPF (Expel) on the front (front bumper, full hood), door cups. Undecided on the A-pillar (I looked at the other vehicles we have an only 1 rock chip) for $150?

I can ask the installer and see the price.

The expel isn't as thick as the 3M film I think.

I have the rear bumper PPF as well. I'm happy with it. I also keep an old blanket under the floor that I can bring out should I need extra protection when moving large objects. So far I've managed to move a chest freezer and an attic insulation blowing machine without any wear and tear to any surfaces. Dare I jinx myself but I am a couple weeks away from 1 yr operation and I still have zero damage to the outside of the vehicle. No scuffs, scratches, chips, dents, etc. I think that is a new record for me.

Well, if you would like a clear solution, then there is this -> https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805965736543.html You can cover whatever you like with that 7.8 in wide tape.
