rear bumper protector

theMerchant · May 2, 2008

Anyone have this on there FX? I have a clear bra on the rear, but it gets scratched up. I was think of getting/ fitting one from another vehicle. But will need to get some measurements, unless someone has done this or has the parts to test fit.

I was thinking of the corolla bumper protector

and e bay has a list to test

any help and testing would be appreciated :bigsmile:

there was some talk on the .org about this. i think someone used a bumper cover from a cayenne or something...not sure though. you might wanna check it out there.

someone tried the cayenne but it didn't work...

neither did the murano.

I have tried Chrysler Pacifica protector, but the curve didn't quiet match with the bumper. There has to be something out there that fits..

Dr.2K · May 3, 2008

I'm sure there is, but you also want it to look good and like oem.

I would think clear-bra would work best, if it gets marked up , it's cheap to replace.

I Have a clear bra on the rear already, but it get scratched up and nicks. So I have decided to make my own protector. I am looking into get some of this material (http://www.dwincorp.com/rubber_floor.php) and add some 3m tape on the back.

Not a bad idea at all. Keep us updated on the final outcome.

Great idea! Cut out a piece of cardboard to the shape you want first and then trace its outline on the rubber material and cut it out. It will be easier to shape a cardboard pattern first than to try and wrestle that rubber around your bumper.

Well I finally had some time today to spend with the FX. (Also did the Dtrl mod)

Here is the material before cutting:
