Default Plastic protector?

Anyone know what these plastic overlays are called? Not sure how I did it but I scratched it pretty badly and would like to replace it. Doesn't look like it went into the clear coat luckily.

Tried to find it in the parts catalog. Came up with nothing. Assume it is part of the OEM manufacturing process. Visit a 3M clear bra dealer.

Check with a detailer. If it's not in the clear coat, could probably be buffed out.

Get some 3m buffing compound and rub it out. It'll take a little elbow grease, but I'm betting you'll get rid of it.

It's aftermarket Clear-Bra application.

I paid a little extra at the dealer and had them clear-bra common wear areas, this was one of the areas they did for me.

They also applied clear bra to the mirrors, behind the door handles, and the headlights, in addition to the hood.
