We'll I installed the all-fit today and I think it looks good. I would recommend. Anyone who wants. To try to user this brand vs the others as it's not the flimsy foam. There are a couple of minor tweaks that we're needed to make it look and install like it always belonged. Now I'm not worried about scratching up the cowl even when the frozen piles of snow set in during winter as this should take the first brunt letting you know to back off.

Default Discreet front and rear bumper protection?

Just took delivery a couple of weeks ago on a new 2016 RX 350, AWD. This is my 3rd lease since 2010. This may be the one I want to buy and keep for a good long time after the lease ends.

Having Lexus factory body side moulding and door edge guards installed: My parking space in my condo requires I back in with the drivers side close up against the wall. Door edge guards came on the my last RX and they were great.

I'm still thinking on is the best way to guard the front and rear bumpers from the small scratches they get over time. Looking for something that would look discrete on the car - nothing like the big rounded bars that cover up the bumpers. I've seen the "stick out" license plates covers. Clearly it would do the job on the front, but looks a bit much.

Any expereinces/ideas from anyone who's tackled this on their new 2016?

Thanks.

Get a clear Bra.. That'll help against rock chips on the road too.

I would guess they would not allow you to mount something on the walls if you space is assigned.

Default Black Horse Front bumper guard protector

I am wondering if anyone install some sort of front bumper guard protector like Black horse's (see link). I am looking for something low so not to cover the F-sport grill and have some protection.
