I'm thinking of adding some rear bumper protection on my RX400h. I will not install any kind of permanent device. I want something which is removable.

I have a hitch mount installed, so I was thinking about the Go Rhino Hitch Step. My concern is that it is not high enough to interface with the bumper of other cars.

My other thought is the Bumper Bully.

Does anyone have any experience with either of these items or maybe something different?

The bumper bully is pretty hideous. I would rather have my bumper scrapped up that have that thing on it. The Go Rhino Hitch Step seems pretty decent, in black. I wonder if a clear bra would help. That stuff is pretty durable.

 

OMG! The bumper bully is something you do not put on a Lexus!

 

+1 on the comments about the Bumper Bully. Please don't do that to your Lexus.

Why not just put a ball on the hitch? It's not permanent, it doesn't look like it belongs on a work truck, and it's not hideous. Plus, nobody's going to bump into the bumper once the hear the collision w/ the hitch.

 

The concept behind the Bumper Bully, Bumper Badger, Parking Armor, etc, is that you only use it while parked. You park, open the hatch or trunk, flip it out, and go on your way. When you return to your car, you reverse the process. These products are not intended to be used while under way.

I do have a hitch ball, but, again, it seems too low, to protect the bumper.

 

Found these on Google.

Bumperbully is just ruins the whole Lexus look, superbumper looks ok though,

 

You really don't want the hitch ball (and its drawbar) mounted in the receiver when not using it. If you back into or get hit by something solid you can damage your frame. Worst case, get hit by a vehicle which catches on fire and gets hung up on the hitch ball...

 

What about the morons who, here in parallel parking country, back into my FRONT bumper?

 

i ordered bumper bully for when i park on city streets and not in my driveway.I not going to drive around with it,here in nyc people got them on all high end cars.If not your bumbers will get ruined.

 

The whole plastic bumper thing is a rip off. At least install the rubber verticals that used to prevent minor bumper damage on the old chrome bumpers.

 

I loved my '72 Impala in that it had bumpers and bumper guards one could take on a wall with.

I put a clear bra on my mine for piece of mind

 

how much that cost?
