It's a paint/powder coat in a spray can. A lot of people use it to black out their emblems and temporary color mods since you can easily peel off the paint.

Personally, I think the front end looks like a football player with anti-glare black under his eyes. It is not for me. Also, being in the paint business, these coatings are not the easy to remove products as you are led to believe. The application must be perfect for them to be removed and get harder to remove the longer they stay on.

Like the bottom bumper blackout. Gives me an idea for carbon fiber vinyl on my Obsidian F-Sport.

The bottom looks good.

The top looks horrible, looks cheap and doesnt belong on a Lexus

The bottom looks like the 5axis GS. The top looks awful
