Good insight. And, earning $100 - $125 for 15 minutes of this work sounds ok to me

Those protective white transport sheets are called "rapgards" and there is a Toyota/Lexus technical service bulletin out for it, with instructions on how to remove the residue.

Did anyone pick up the option to have dings, wheel scrapes, tire replacements, and windshield repair covered? I got it for ~$1K which covers 5 yrs but have 60 days to opt out of it. I think its break even when you get 2 tire replacements, few dings and 2 curb repairs.

Thanks NX Owner for posting this. Will mention to dealer at first scheduled service.

No problem. You're welcome. Let us know after your dealer visit.

It definitely hurt the people passing by, or a bag, or other object. But it can easily be polished and everything will be good.

So i was parking my nx f sport in the garage and usually the garage door sensors would recognize that the car isn't clear from the door when it closes. But for some reason it didn't this time and the door clipped the front grill when it was closing. There are minor scratches to the front grill and around the border of the lexus emblem. It's not noticeable to be honest but do you guys think lexus dealer sells touch up paint for the front f sport grill? It's dark greyish in colour. What other options do i have to repair the scratches?

It's too bad. I feel your pain. The metal frame bars on the garage door protrude and scraped my CT's front bumper a few years back and it hurt in many ways

I don't believe there's a paint pen for the grille. Take a good color-accurate picture of your grille on your phone and visually compare it to paint cans or touch-up paint colors at Canadian Tire. Buy the closest match. It's what I've done over time with past cars for some touch up jobs on wheels, and other body work when a code was unavailable.

Yea I was very upset when it happened....especially when it happened while I wasn't even driving lol. Good thing it's not noticeable. I'll try Lexus dealer first but yea I think Canadian Tire would be a good alternative.

Sigh, just got back from my daughter's indoor soccer game at a nearby sports complex and found this.

Car was parked outdoors for about 90 minutes in the last spot, reversed so no car parked on the driver's side (black arrow in pic). This is the third (and largest) damage on the car totally inflicted by someone else's negligence or malicious intent. Frustrating to say the least. Does this look like someone was trying to pry open the door? Any other theories? It was a little windy (30 mph gusts).

Aw man...that sucks. Is that on the gas cap? It was fairly windy in my area today but not sure if any flying rocks/debris could do that sort of damage or even the chances of it happening is very minimal. Are there security cameras in the area that you can look into? I feel your pain, i try to park my nx in empty areas and away from other cars but in the end i still end up with scratches....

Corrado - if that scratch at the bottom is not bent inward or outward, I'd say no on a pry attempt. Maybe someone threw something at your car. Your daughter score the winning goal?

Are you sure the damage was inflicted at that location? Could it have happened earlier and you just noticed it?

Maybe a landscaper was weed-whacking the grass next to your car and some debris was thrown toward it?

I think it could be something that got blown by the wind. Around your time of posting the snow storm/freezing rain storm was just starting. The snow was pretty much horizontal throughout the early evening. My snowboard and skis (inside their carry-bags) were blown around on the balcony and one of our chairs were blown down. This has never happened before and we're facing Northward while the wind was going east. What direction was the car facing?

The two marks on the mirror line up with the mark at the bottom of the casing. Maybe someone's snow brush got blown away while cleaning their car?

if the dealership messed it up, demand them to fix it
