Is it just a clear film I cut myself or do they sell it pre-cut?

you can buy it and spend more... or just get the 3m clear bra spray for $5-10 and apply it in the same area and the best part you just spray it on and not worry about bubbles or anything.

All it is, is a piece of vinyl so not worth buying from Lexus.

You can do something like what Dexter did. He added a black piece like the porches you posted. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...rs-thread.html

I like it. How did he exactly do it? I'd like to do that to mine.

To the OP, I just removed mine this past weekend, I used a heat gun, a plastic blade scrapper that doesn't harm the paint, goo gone, meguiars scratch X and finished with wax. As you heat it you'll notices is starts to shrink then you use your scrapper and it peels like butter, just take your time a it is doable.

After that, grab clean cloth, some goo gone and remove the remaining glue from the paint. Later, use your scratch X to remove any micro scratch you could have done and finish with wax. For me it came out perfect.

I think it's just a matte black piece of vinyl. You can go to a decal shop and have them make a couple or try to find some online (don't think they make any specifically for 2IS).
