Rear bumper plastic cover

Has anyone tried putting on a rear bumper cover to avoid scratches from other drivers as they try to pull out?

I want to find one that can be easily attached, and wanted to see if anyone here had recommendations, thanks Trying to prevent future scratches from ruining my FIT

I probably would've gotten one of those if not for the fact that they won't protect against scratches on the side of the bumpers

I had my front and rear bumpers wrapped. No scratches with city parking after almost 5 months.

This seems promising . Was there a particular product you used? This sounds like something I would like to look into as well!

I got a simillar color self adhesive 2" bumper guard strip from bumperdefender.com and wrapped it around the bumper. Not a perfect solution as it covers the tow hook hole partially, but it's mostly not noticeable and it's saved me from little nicks and scratches

Thanks. I got two 8 ft lengths (one for the front, one for the back). Cost with shipping and the cutting tool was about $95. Color samples are available for a couple bucks to better match the color.

I forget the brand, I went with the good stuff (3M?), it's clear so it matches perfectly.
