I'd like to get something along the lines of the Bumperbully since I park in the street every day but the Bully product, while nice, has the name in a bright color and their website. I'm not interested in having that ugly thing on my new car.

Is there a more subtle item of this type available anywhere? I've searched around online and haven't found anything.

In case anyone is not familiar with this item, here it is: Outdoor Parking Bumper Protector, Bumper Protection, Rear Bumper Guard


Thanks.

 

no offence bro... but that thing is ugly as hell! lol id say get some high way cones nd set them around your car... i know its tough keeping a car safe parked out side... my 3rd week at school with my it got crashed into while parked... had less than 1500 miles on it, i dont really have any suggestions for keeping your car safe, most people just dont care and it really sux

 

Heh. No offense taken. It's ugly as can be. I'd never put that on my car. I thought perhaps there was a competing product that wasn't so terribly ugly.

 

a lot of people around here use a bumper badger.

 

DO what ManxMan did, get a hitch mount, put a nice ball on it, and it will look great, and you can get the ball painted to match your stock colors.

Just an advice I got from the (wise) old man =D.

I need to install mine, but don't need it at the moment.

Class 1 would be the best, it doesn't look the same as the one in the image, that's the class 4 I think.

EDIT2:

Add this on to that kit.

But if I didn't have a trailer hitch to protect my back bumper, and did not want to install one just for that purpose, the Bumperbully certainly looks like it would serve the purpose that it is designed for. Sure it is ugly. But that would get the attention of anyone who is likely to run into your bumper. It stays in the car out of sight until you park your car and pull it out to do the protecting.

 

i wish it protects a little more of the edges near the corner of the rear bumper. i got my first blemish in that spot. i hate my neighbors! grrr!

 

id be kinda worried about putting rubber sheets like that over painted surfaces cause outgassing can permanently stain your plastics and paint. maybe on a dark colored car it's okay...

even the rubber/plastic cord from my battery manager i protect the paint using a towel to isolate the material from the paint on my hobby cars.

yah, that looks kinda silly and only protects if the offending bumper is at that height. kinda like door molding projectors...

imho, a thick piece of foam or rolled up towel would work better.
