Rear Bumper Protector/Applique
#5
Yes, well worth it. They charge labor to install, so you may just want to get it afterwards and stick it on yourself.
Anyone that thinks they do not need it, I can send photos of the bumper tops on my 1995 and 1992 Camry Wagons......

I'd like to see some photos if you have them. I'm not sure I'm totally sold on the applique, I like the idea but I think I might like the style I've seen on the Matrix better. It's a little more rubber looking and bumpy.

Isn't there a Japanese rear fold over protector for the rear bumper?

I would get that instead.

I am going with the tail gate garnish From Mugen - I was told it will fit the NADM Fit. I think it cleans up the back nicely..

There is an outdoor product called Pac Skin. It is a peel and stick rubber sheet that you can trim to fit. I don't know how much it will cost but it might be as good or better than this protector from Honda. I have the same rubber grip material on a couple of handguns. It is a soft rubber with a pebbled finish. It is made by Pachmayr.

It may fit the hatch - but I'll bet it doesn't cover all the bumper!
The JDM rear liftover sill is inches shorter than the NA one....

Maybe this is too "red-neck", but I keep a piece of cardboard in my hatch that I fold out when I need to load something. It keeps the bumper from getting scratched, and keeps the carpet from getting messed up, as well.

I've heard the tail gate garnish doesn't fit very well without using their rear bumper too, and then you need to re-do the 're-bar'. You might want to check around, I've heard there will be large-ish gaps.
The back bumper of our minivan is all scratched up in this spot, mostly from shoes. You rest the load on your raised knee while grabbing the hatch to pull it closed.

I bought the applique after-market and installed it myself. Glad I did.
