Has anyone installed anything to protect bumpers from bad drivers, that dont feel their car dinensions? I got my back bumper scratched today, need to install something.

you do realize your license plate is really clear in the reflection on the hood...

Hahahahahaha

non obvious "watch it buddy" option is to install a hitch, then a bike rack

that gives the person behind you a vertical reference, and everyone will think you're a healthy type of person

It's not a big deal. On an average daily commute, there are probably hundreds more views of your license plate than views it'll receive on this forum. I never know why folks try to hide their publicly visible license plate. LOL!

Bumper protection? Like this one?

There have been posts about this in the past. Do a search and should find something.

I have a bumper bully platinum on the rear and a bumptek front plate protector in the front. I flip the bumper bully out when I park and put it back inside when I drive. It doesn't cover the full rear bumper so dumb drivers who can't drive can still swipe your rear side bumper. As for the front plate guard. The bumptek I got was the least obnoxious option. I don't know how good it protects, and I don't want to know. I'm also very selective in my parking spots... so I've been lucky whenever I park on the streets of NYC.

Now I do, I made/edited the picture on the phone, didn't see it on that small screen.

Anyway, I decided to install a hitch and something like this

post a pic after it's installed. I thought of something similar, but it seemed like it'd be too low to help with what you want it for.

Installed, I decided to get a little different one.

I agree. That looks awful.

You live in California, why do you even need one? In NYC, within few years its going to be destroyed without some protection.

You know, it may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it doesn't look awful. It looks like a reasonable solution to your problem with careless jerks. I don't blame you at all. If I had to deal with street parking I would probably consider the same thing. What did you end up doing for the front?

trust me, depending on where in CA, this could be useful...
