I was thinking about ordering the rear bumper applique for my XA. Wondered how they looked installed and if they protect the top of the bumper very good. Are they black rubber? I just picked my scion up a couple days ago, put a small scratch on top of the rear bumper already loading stuff in the back. Any pics of one mounted up? Quality?

Thanks in advance.

I can't see those offering anything close to heavy duty protection.

If you're going for looks, they will do the job, but if you want real protection, pick up the scion cargo liner... it has a flap that pulls out to protect your exterior when you're loading it up. I picked one up only because I keep my backseats down and use them for cargo, but the bumper protection is a nice plus.

 

I think there are 2 bumper protectors for the xA. One that's clear with a faint white Scion logo and one that's black plastic.

Clear one ---> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Scion...QQcmdZViewItem

Plastic one ---> http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...6&parts_id=678

 

i know for sure that the black one is for the xb....

 

i have a black one for my xa

 

hmmmm...well ive only seen one xA with a rear bumper applique' and it was a clear one. ill have to keep me eyes open....

 

Thanks for the replys. I'm interested in the black (rubber/plastic) ones for the XA. I think it would save a lot scratches in the long run. Any pics of one applied?

Well I went ahead and ordered one. It actually fits very well and doesn't look bad at all. I think it would have looked a tad better if the holes weren't in it but it still looks good. It's made of a rubber/plastic material and should protect the bumper from marks really well. Took only a couple minutes to install. Well here's a pic.
