Bump Steps

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if either of these would work on my 2016 Fit?

Not looking for a step, just bumper protection. I've been rear ended at a red light twice now by people not paying attention and want some protection.

Maybe you could get a brake light modulator so they notice you

The bumper provides impact absorption, but those bump stops connect to the rigid unibody underneath..... Hmmmm

You'd better think about it...

Those only work with a trailer hitch, and it had better be a good one.

If you're getting rear-ended regularly you might consider adjusting your driving habits. Leave more space ahead of you so you don't have to stop so suddenly.
