I had the same thing happen to me, but it was my fault. My daughter called me at 2:26 to pick her up from her job. When I got home I backed up - right into my other car. It was a very low MPH, but now there are 3 dimples and the impression of my other cars license plate bracket. I will probably buy the bumper cover and replace it, but it really should be a little tougher.

Anyways, I told my wife I need a backup sensor now and she went for it! So that's my next project...

sspiller - that's not a bad idea, but it might cost more than the bumper cover itself. It might be worth it, though if it was pretty thick. It could be thicker than a hood covering because you are not really concerned with letting the color of the paint be visible.

It would also have to have a satin finish, too. A shiny bumper cover would look strange. :shock:

Would the bumper cover fit sideways, that is, be mounted facing rearward? I always thought it was non-functional, in that anytime you are loading heavy stuff, your tailgate would be down protecting the top anyway. However if it fit on the back, it would be functional. Might look like crap, though. Can anybody Photoshop a picture?

[quote:8de703e13b="buckaroo99"]FYI - you can replace your entire rear bumber for $174.07 and the rear 'garnish' is only $28.89. So keep this in mind relative to cost of any guards or other protection.[/quote:8de703e13b]

29 bucks, huh? I might have to order a few and put them on like those Motocross guys do with face shields.
