I'm going to that, when I get mine in a couple weeks, but only the front couple feet. Full coverage is twice as much $$.

That is very wise advice! I'm certain that's where the bottom front lip of my car was hit with a stray shopping cart. I've used the touch-up pen from the dealer and it looks a lot better so I'm just going to accept it.

So far - it has saved me (since Mar 1st when I purchased) in the following:

2) Bird strike on front bumper - had to re-melt plastic shield but DEFINITELY would have damaged paint
3) Someone scuffed or kicked front bumper in walmart parking lot - again, just repaired shield damage
4) Bottomed out on hidden pot-hole on lower lip. Again, major scratches to shield repaired, would have been a whole new paint job for bumper
i have an clear bra........ the rockchip is a tiny little thing in front of my bumper... i just got another big issue.. accidentally hit the curb!

my front lip look like...... =(

Did Lexus not give you a paint pen? My dealership told me every car comes with one.
