I've never seen a fold-out one for the LS430. I used to have a similar item on my C5 Corvette. I have seen the stick-on bumper scuff protectors that permanently attached to the top of the bumper. I have a clear one on my Prius.

That's nice. After dinging our bumper I had a clear bra put on ours, this works for light stuff that one might encounter like grocery shopping etc.

These are the ugliest things I've ever seen, especially when someone drives with them on while moving. If you're going to put this on the bumper, why stop there, just drap a few over the doors and front bumpers too.

Um, I don't think you can close the trunk lid without folding in the blanket. My problems with it are that you have to remember to use it - often when your hands are full, and it can get in the way when not using it.

The pictures only illistrate the blankets half out, there are usually two sraps of some sort that allow you to lower the things. yes you have to remember to pull them out... AND to put them back, which many in the city do not care to do and just leave it out like it's a car cape.
