I did at my Lexus dealer when I took delivery; I am sure they can do it. It is expensive, but worth every penny. After 4 years the front one has taken a beating. I might get it replaced.

Out of Warranty
The various films are outstanding - I think all are the same material, various manufacturers may cut them a bit differently. All provide good protection, and if installed correctly, will be nearly invisible and last for several years. The front end of your RX is particularly vulnerable to rock chips, around and just behind the grill. Most bug deflectors don't give you the kind of coverage you need, and IMHO, most are REALLY ugly. As triplecore said, expensive but well worth the investment.

Use the clear bra instead of the bug deflector. Not only does it look way better, it provides a lot more protection if done right. Don't buy it from the dealer as they only do a portion of the job for a higher price than an independent shop. Go to any reputable clear bra/window tinting shop to have it installed. On my RX, I had them do the hood, front fenders, the entire front fascia (bumper), headlight lenses, fog light lenses and the front of the side mirrors for about $500. Well worth the cost for the protection it provides and if anything ever happens to the film the shop will replace it for free.

I am not a fan of bug-deflector, but it is supposed to do more than the film. The film just protects the paint, while the deflector in addition is supposed to change the air flow and move all light objects away from the wind shield.
