Does anybody know if there is a rear bumper guard to protect the top of the bumper by the bottom of the rear hatch. I noticed today that my bumper is shot to sh1t from my dogs paws scratching it to all hell when they jump in and out of the car. I searched but didn't find a solution except for a custom made one. I didn't find any OEM option from Infiniti but I know the Murano has one. I would assume Infiniti would offer an equivalent accessory?

How does every other single suv/crossover have this accessory available to them and the FX doesn't? You can bet your ass if I paid $140,000 for a Cayenne Turbo S I would be getting me some rear bumper protection love right now. AIG fu<ks me again!
Ash,
That's a great idea. And I'm being unusually serious here. You mean the clear sticky tape thing correct? These are technical terms so let me know if you don't follow. I mean like an invisible bra?

hey, you cheated with that thread title
clearbra style film is cool for that, but if your talking dog claws then maybe not enough really, have to make something cause there's nothing available
TC, I think that's what Ash recommended too. It sounds worth a try.
Stu,
Black rubber cover is what I first had in mind. That's what I tend to see on other vehicles. Plus it would help me cover up the current scratches that are evident there. If I could buff them out though then Ash's idea of the clear bra might work great. I would have to see how well it holds up to the dogs claws though as turbocad said. I'm willing to go with anything right now to try it out.
ps: The word "Guard" in the new title is splet rong.

It seems to me that you could find some black cover for another vehicle that fits, with only minor modifications. My mom's RX has one, and I bet it would fit on the FX decently, but then you have LEXUS on your bumper. 
I will look tomorrow and see if it at least looks like it could work.

It's such a good idea that I would be willing to offer you a buttered muffin and adequate bus fare home.

If I can't get the scratches out then I'm going to have to go with a black rubber cover to help hide them. Modifying another manufacturers guard would work fine for me as long as it fits ok. If it says Volvo or Saab on it then that works out even better.

If you paid 140,000 for The Turbo S, Porsche would still charge you 1000 for the bumper protection
no problem with peeling or shifting after the first install at all
the material is really soft and sits flat, also the automotive double sided tape works great. keep in mine, this is sitting on top of my "clear bra"
Merchant,
Your DIY was the thread I was referring to. And may I say you did a fantastic job of it. It looks oem to me. I don't have quite the same faith in my own handiwork but I'm willing to give it a go. How much did you pay for the rubber flooring?
Btw, your Cooper S is awesome. One of my favorite cars ever. Do you still have it?
I bought the Murano bumper protector a long while ago but never installed it thinking it wouldn't look good on my color. Somebody at the .org did it a while ago. Would look like this:

the material was cheap about ~$15 (http://www.mcmaster.com/#floor-runners/=12nul0) I got a discount because my wife works there.
I actually got luck with cutting it. I did a rough cut with a tracing paper, then trimmed it once I got it on the car.
the Mini is nice (John cooper works), my dad drives it now. fun little car w/a super charger and some mods (big brakes, intercooler , ecu ,etc). it cool also cuz the lisecen plate saids " gokarrt "
Looks great. I need a little more coverage though for the 2 dogs. They use the back bumper as a step getting in and out.
Thanks for the info on the materials I will check it out.
ps: EVOtech have a flash for the JCW. Stg2 gains are 44whp/22tq with catback and cai. Around $900 I think.
IS... found this bumper scuff pad. http://www.powerflowinc.com/bumperscuffpads.php. Use the part number 5602 for the FX

hey guys, they have a rear bumper guard for our rides. I found it on www.powerflowinc.com, and I found it also on www.driverfx.com for a little over $20.
