Reporting as promised. First of all, I can't say enough good things about the seller. He was very helpful and efficient. He called me to verufy whether I wanted 1 or 2 peice bumper cover. I chose 1-peice because I had it installed professionally. The kit was sent by US Priority Mail (no extra charge) and I got it within 2 days. Cost me $189 including lights kit and shipping. It was a geniuene 3M product. Got the everything installed today. I paid $230 for installation. Everything went very smooth, however I strongly recommend to have it installed professionally IMO it is not a DIY process.

Default Clear Bra

I had the clear bra installed the month after I purchased my 2005 RX330 and I love it. I have a few small blemishes on the bumper (near the bottom) but it works well. There are no scratches on the car or the material. I had this done in Raleigh, NC by SolarView. I think you will love it.

arnieosp, not a bad deal man. good job shopping around.

$419 is pretty competitive but it's still a pattern cut installation. If you go to a shop where they do bulk cut installations like Aerotect in socal, the installer can wrap the film around the edges so you don't get a gap between where the clear bra film ends and the actual edge of the body panel.

Here's Aerotect's pricing from their special CL offer thread.

Prices for standard kits (Partial hood, partial fenders, side mirrors, and Full front Bumper), are as follows.

IS 250/350, GS, RX, SC = $495.00
ES, LS, GX = $545.00

Options (with clear bra installation):

Headlights in clear = $40.00 (GS = $50.00)
Door Cups = $20.00
A-Pillars = $20.00
Door Edges = $20.00
Rear Bumper Strip = $20.00

Full coverage packages (Full Hood, Full Fenders), includes all options and a Nav Screen.

IS 250/350, GS, RX, SC, ES, LS, GX = $1,100.00

ISF = $1,350.00
