Default Rear Bumper CF Scratch Protector

I've been noticing more newer cars coming out with rear bumper scratch protectors--BMW, Scion/Toyota, new Infiniti Q60. I think it looks cool esp, in CF (well actually CF vinyl). I'm thinking of doing a custom one for my car--and is functional to keep the paint from getting scuffed!

I will do a template then cut out a piece of 5D CF vinyl. But Im thinking of just getting the Lexus factory clear applique.

I agree with the clear as well. Not a fan of the carbon personally, but since you have some carbon fibre accents it might just work

I installed the appliqué on my GS with a credit card and some soap water was pretty easy. There's a DIY video on YouTube also.
