I haven't been able to find any decent bumper protection that I can use. I want to keep my bumpers on while protecting their paint, so drift armor doesn't really cover both of these. Does anyone know of any way to keep these assholes in their priuses from mangling my clean paint, or at least really punish them when they do? I'm sick of it, and don't have a way to get off street parking here.

Ya... you can't own a half way decent car and street park in a major city. I lived in NYC most of my adult life and LA most of the rest of it - always garaged. I lent my sister an audi in NYC for 1 month and she street parked it and it came back hit and scraped about 8 different times impacting every body panel but the roof.
The only thing I've ever seen avoid this is having a huge, already beat up, car/truck with huge steel bumpers. These tend to keep people from hitting you and if so all of the damage will be to their car.
You have two options to save your car: 1) Move or 2) Find a garage (or at least off street space) to rent
