Question Lexus RCF Front Bumper Paint Question?

Hello,

Looking to purchase a 2019 RCF and noticed in one of the photos the long, plastic piece under the front grille was painted to match the body color. Not sure if this is normal as I thought they were usually a black matte plastic? Does anyone have any insight into why this may be, perhaps a small accident or repair from a third-party body shop that repaired it incorrectly and painted it? CarFax is clean and listed as no accidents though.

Also side note, are these OEM BBS wheels?


Thanks everyone.

That front bumper has been painted. It should be black behind the grill.

Oh - That's what the OP was talking about There's a big difference in the words "under" and behind"

My 2019 is like the OP’s picture. I believe all 2019’s are painted.

Edit: I stand corrected. There is dark grey foam. No paint.
