Question Rear bumper clear "LEXUS" applique protector

Just wondering if the Rear Bumper clear "LEXUS" protector that is offered as an accessory on the newer ES-350 ('08-'10) will also fit on an '07? Anyone have this on there vehicle?

I am quite sure that anything that would fit on an 08-10 ES350 bumper would also fit a 2007 - I think they were all the same. If you don't want the "Lexus" visible on the protector any of the clear bra installers could do the same for you - probably at a much lower cost.

I took mine off because every time I wax the car, it's a pain to remove the wax from the outline of the plastic.

The key here is I just added a copy of the Lexus installation instructions should you be considering installing the clear film yourself.

But won't the clear applique get scratched and then you still have the appearance of scratches unless you remove / replace the clear applique.

I had one installed on my '07. Attempted to do myself and got a wrinkle in it.
Re-ordered and had my dealership install it. They messed one up and had to furnished me another one at their expense. It is difficult to install yourself.
Maybe you can but once it sticks it sticks. Good luck. Looks great!!

Just bought my '10 ES350 and its on there. I think the wax buildup issue is easy to remove. I would use a detailers soft bristle brush. It almost looks like a paint brush.

Default Rear Bumper Cover & Bracket....2011 es 350

Need to find out the prices on these items!
As well as the decal.

Is the 2010 the exact same for the '11?
and the Lexus decal.

Is it called applique?
Can't find it on Rock Auto

Mine was already on my 09 when I bought it new. Nice addition, it was listed on the dealer shipment sheet. It will fit nicely on your 07, no problem
