Default RX 350H front bumper protective film

Hello,

I have just noticed there is a cutoff line on the front side bumper. It looks like the car comes with a paint protective film? Does it look like a ppf? Does every have line as shown in the picture? I couldn’t tell the film is wrapped the whole front bumper. Please advise.

Does everyone have the same like mine? Does it wrap the lower piece only?

Our 500h does NOT have any PPF-type protection on that lower lip.

You made me look...

I DID find a small gouge underneath from road debris, though. <<SIGH>> I doubt if PPF would have prevented it.

I checked my and has the same and also I discovered my car’s front end is covered with PPF including the whole hood. I opened the hood and slightly poked the underside of the hood about 3/16 of an inch from the edge with pointed knife and it’s soft and I knew there is PPF over the hood.

No, it is not listed and the dealer didn’t tell me the car has ppf. Surprised. 2 outside mirrors have it too.
Check your car, I think it has ppf too. Look clearly at the back of the mirror along the edged, you will see the ppf

hmmm, interesting. I assume you bought your car brand new from the dealership, not a used car that someone has already put ppf.

I checked closely on my front bumper again. I don’t think it is ppf but more like the cutoff from the bumper.

The ceramic guy told me it is not ppf on the bumper. It is just the design of the bumper.
