Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket chrome rear bumper guard that covers up the factory rear bumper aplique?

 

There is a JDM chrome stepguard available at scionsport.com

I am pretty sure you would have to remove the alique before installing it though.

Here is the link:

Yes, I bought one and it is every bit as nice as the ad said it was. I grabbed it from Scionsport.com for $125. Call George at 626-934-7808 and he'll ship you one.

Glad to help.

 

Thanks for the help. I thought I remembered seeing one that extended the length of the bumper though. I don't think its possible to remove the applique w/o damaging the paint so I'm really looking for something to cover it up.

 

you can easily remove the applique without paint damage. start at one end and start peeling a little heat surely helps. then use a bug and tar remover to remove the sticky residue.
