Here's some pix of the guard I installed this morning...looks great on a black car as it has a black rubber edge around it which doesn't show on the black car

Lookin - good

Only took a year and a half for Lexus to make it available !!!

Still like the clear one better as it covers the actual lip of the bumper. This one doesn't.

 

[bondguy]

Clear one has zero protection capability...against scratches especially

What would you think you would be protecting against? Pollen?

 

[bondguy]

I agree...the clear one is just a film that stiks on...thin film like tinting. The metal chrome one is much thicker and is to protect when loading things like luggage or bulky items into the car. Nothing is foolproof but to me the chrome one looks better...but everyone has a different opinion on which one is for them. I l ike this one as the LEXUS is nice and embossed and being that the US version of the CT doesn't say hybrid or Lexus anywhere on the rear of the car it's kind of nice to have the Lexus name embossed ( I know the clear one has it too but you can barely see it).

Just ordered mine from Sewell. Is it just the lighting or is it kind of yellowish?

 

[bondguy]

Not yellowish at all...must be the lighting. Also, when my license plate white LED's light up at night, it reflects nicely off the chrome of the bumper...looks pretty cool at night

I absolutely love your custom plate. And the chrome bumper protector looks awesome!

 

[jacksonlui]

i like how it looks. my older car has scuffs because it doesn't have a protecting plate.

any group buys on this as well as the nice FSport shifter knob planned?

 

[Greexembourg]

Best Plate EVER !)

 

[Bobcherrie]

I have had BOTH and the Chrome is the ONLY answer for protection. The clear film is Lexus advertising value only!

 

[Eyer]

No doubt it looks very nice but to me it doesn't really provide much protection from when you're loading stuff as the edge of the bumber is still very much exposed to scratching.

 

[BIG E]

It looks nice, but I think it could have been designed a bit differently to provide maximum protection. On a black car especially, that area is going to take some abuse when loading and unloading. I just don't think that offers enough protection. It does look good, though. And I am sure it is better than the film that I have.

I'd be interested in a group buy on this as well, if one was worked up.

Why would a black car be more abused than any other color?

You've obviously never owned a black car. I've owned two which is why I now own a white car. Black cars only look good the day they are washed. Then they just get dusty and dirty. They don't get more dusty or dirty compared to any other car they just show it ALOT more. They also show every blemish, scuff and swirl mark. Hence the rear bumper would should a lot more abuse. Get it?

How's the protector holding up? I also have a black CT and debating between the metal protector and the clear one. Would you happen to have a pic of the rear from a distance? Thanks in advance.

 

[motionisgay]

I have it on my black CT. You can see it on my avatar I suppose. I like having it.

that's very nice, may I ask how much is it and where I can get it? Thanks

I got this without the logo instead & it also protect the edge of the bumper.
