Default Do all 2014 have rear bumper protector?

I was washing my car right now and noticed I didnt have a rear bumper protector piece like I see on a lot of other cars. Are they standard or did some cars not get one?

It's an accessories. For a $76, you can own "Rear bumper applique."

In some regions it is actually included in the option packages. Here in the East region it is a separate accessory. I am glad as I am not a fan of it.

They didn't place the accessory on mine. I'm glad they didn't, otherwise it would have been another piece to take off later.

Majority of the protectors are added on at the port. Mine thankfully didn't have it either.

Despite a clear bra believer, I find the rear bumper protector is essentially better than nothing because the coverage is too small to combat with scuff marks due to careless loading/unloading.

Aesthetically, it doesn't look good at all.

My 2 cents : if someone insists on getting it, it is better to have clear bra install on the front and see if the installer can throw it as an extra.
