Default Does Rcf paint chip easy? Who installed clear bra?

I remember my 2008 is250's paint were fairly strong and had very minimal rock chips on bumper. How is the paint quality now on the rcf? Who installed clear bra?

On my 370z the paint are super thin and I have many rock chips on front bumper.

Thanks for input

Lexus paint is on the soft side. I have the clear film on the first 20 inches or so of the hood, same with my NX and holding up well.

This car is my first born, I'm super OCD about it... Drove it straight from the dealership to my garage and it sat there for 2 weeks until I got an apt for a film. Just spent $2160 on full bumper, grille, fenders, rear impact area, hood, and A pillars. Done w/Xpel Ultimate film. You can barely even see the stuff and it's already saved me a few dings.

I did the whole car, cost me around $5K and it's been over a year and still holding up fine.

Same here, and I'll do it on every new car I get from now on as well. Huge stress reliever, especially on soft black paint
