Default Lexus PPF?

Might be getting a new GS in Texas. It has the optional PPF but not certain on what parts are covered? It's the film that Lexus offers as an option. I remember seeing a new one a while back that had the hood partially covered but couldn't remember if the nose was covered or not.

Mine had it on door edges, inner door handle, top of rear bumper/trunk landing.

I hated it, it looks so ugly on a white car so I removed it.

I would recommend asking the dealer specifically about what is covered on that specific car. "PPF" and "Lexus Option/Accessory"from the dealer is too ambiguous and thrown around a dealership a lot, often used as a catch-all term. My tone isn't that you are ambiguous or didn't provide enough information, it's that the salesperson may mean one thing but say another. To avoid miscommunications ask them specifically if the parts YOU want to be covered are covered.

I did ask the dealer as to what is covered. The nose is not covered. This particular car does not have the dealer installed PPF. This film is installed at the factory as it states on the window sticker. 3M is the brand and it's a $429 option.

Probably Door edges, door cups, rear trunk ledge, and possibly a small section of the hood. At that price from the dealer it will not include the front bumper.

Let me know if you're looking for additional coverage, or an alternative to the dealer installed film.

The factory installed film is only the partial hood,mirrors & front fenders. That's it.

Do not get the dealer one , over priced, U can get full coverage and better quality than dealer, go with Xpel brand u will love it and u can get the full front, dont even think about doing half the hood and fenders u will regret it.
