Added NYC bumper guards 09 Fit Sport
I figured i'd post pics of the added nyc bumper guards. These are pretty common to add around here as I parallel park daily and my bumper usually get chewed up. These have helped my other cars in the past...kinda tacky but they work. Bought them from here:
Car Bumper Protection, Bumper Protector and Color Bumper Guards, Car Door Guards
Car Bumper Protection, Bumper Protector and Color Bumper Guards, Car Door Guards

Hey I was born and raised in Manhattan so I know all about the horrible parallel parking situation there. It is so tight people squeeze into spaces they really shouldn't and there is no room between the car in front or back to move. It seems like every car in New York has some sort of ding or dent in it. I would not own a car in New York City because of how good public transportation is and because of how badly cars get beat up by poor drives, crazy cabbies, potholes everywhere, and brutal winters.
However those bumper guards look really good actually, and I'm all about function over form anyway. If it works to protect the car in some fashion I don't care what it looks like. If I lived in New York City with a Fit (or any car) I would buy them in a heartbeat.

The parking is horrible. When i first moved here 10yrs ago I had a new (leased) 99 Lexus GS300...couldn't get out of the lease. By the end of the lease 3 1/2 years and less than 30k miles the bumpers where a disaster, actually most of the outside paint was a disaster. My favorite parking story was when i walked to the car and saw kids throw a snapple bottle at it and crack my windshield. I also love the door dings w/ yellow paint i'd get occasionally (people getting out of cabs and just slamming the doors into my cars).
I live/work in brooklyn and for me to get to my job its easier to drive 10 mins than be stuck waiting for the subways/transfers etc.

ur car's growing a mustash.
I can understand living in the city and sympathize for those arsehole drivers that think bumping other cars is "ok".
Been there done that (not the bumper bumping), left the city instead.

I didn't think they would because the dealer added the front license plate frame and that sticks out way more than the moldings do.

The frequency he'd be replacing bumpers living in NYC would be asinine. This is the best bet living in that city and still owning a car.

They sell all kinds of bumper protection here...I've tried a few. On one car i had my bumpers shrink wrapped in clear plastic...great in theory...but the license plate screws from cars chewed into that plastic and it looked horrible.

i was about to order a color sample, but to cut that expense and waiting time. is the one you have on your TWB Fit, the lite blue metallic color?
