I would highly recommend a clear bra like Venture Tape or Xpel rather than a regular front end mask. www.aeroshield.com, www.xpel.com and etc can give you some ideas.

I have the one by Colgan with the carbon fiber look. Perfect fit and works well. Paid about $150.

I had a full bra on my last car (a Maxima) and after pulling it off before selling it, and seeing what had happened to the paint underneath, I wouldn't recommend doing it with a Lexus... especially now that the paint solvents used are water-based and the paint jobs on most new cars are so fragile.

I had a custom clear-bra installed over the whole front bumper, front part of the hood, headlights, and backs of the side mirrors. It was pricey, but you can't even see it, and after a year, no rock chips on the paint at all...

Just had a full install of the clear bra today on the RX. The whole front bumper, mirrors, custom cut piece for the hood/grille area plus the fogs & headlights were done with Venture Tape...instead of the 3M film. Looks great. Be forewarned with the front end mask, it will scratch up the paint when you have road debris/sand collecting under the mask while you're driving.
