Default Rubber applique for the rear bumper

I have the scion applique for the rear bumper. I have been seeing a lot of vehicles with a black rubber applique that is designed to protect the bumper and give more of a grip for standing. Does anyone have any ideas of where you can find these?


Thanks in advance

Dont waste your time or your money. Judging from the lack of posts here, i can see that things havent changed. Most are disapointed with the end result of the aplaque. It traps dirt and wax, and really doesnt protect the rear bumper at all. The rear bumper isnt a step, your not stepping up into a 4X4. If you want a cover to protect the bumper, look into getting the cargo liner. It Velcros into place, and has a flap that drops out and covers the bumper from getting scratched and stuff. I have had mine for over 4 months now, and dont have a scratch on the rear bumper ... oh BTW, i use my xB for my cleaning business, meaning i use the rear trunk at least 10 times a day, passing all kinds of things over the rear bumper.

I suggest you check out the _____in' (that's for you cali's) JDM rear bumper guard. I ordered mine from www.newscionparts.com and I love it! You can see it on my car in my profile. It's really nice quality, sticks great, has a nice looking Bb badge, chrome with a black edgeing. They ship from california and shipping is cheap, mine was $8 shipping to Washington state. Protects well, but I don't let anyone touch mine because it's so pretty.

I just got my 2005 Xb and had that bumper thing installed. I didnt know it was a sticker. Its not worth the money to put it on. Plus it makes waxing in those small round holes a _____. Any sugestions on how to take it off?

You could always use one of those Oral-B electric toothbrushes as a micro buffer
