    Raising this thread from the dead. Has anybody applied the Rear Bumper Appliqué themselves? Pretty easy? Thinking of getting this as my wife is already doing a number on the top of the bumper.

    I have installed this rear bumper applique.

    It was the first one of the paint protection film pieces I installed and came out the worst. What made my later installations on the hood, door cups and side mirrors go smoother was using two solutions referenced in this youtube 3M video. One a slip solution with baby shampoo in a ratio of 2mL of baby shampoo in 1000 mL of water. The second solution a tack solution made of of 150 mL of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and 850 mL water. The key I found to doing a better job is a little bit of tack solution on parts you want to stick like a corner of the film and a lot of slip solution on the remainder of the film on both sides and a good squeegee to squeegee out the air bubbles.

    There is also a Toyota Japan 08178-47040 for rear bumper applique that you would have to import from some site like impex. It looks a little better in the sense that it has two pieces whereas the USA version is one piece. Similar in price. Attached is a pdf version of the Japanese version instructions translated by google translate.
