Rear bumper protector

[russv]

Mine came with it, no choice. Also ash tray (I don't smoke) and a trunk mat.

It is pointing straight up so you only really see it when you're standing in front of the trunk.

The problem though is that I don't care if other people see it or not, I don't want to see it everyday when I open my trunk.

I've also found that this is the dirtiest part of the car. The rest of my car looks pretty clean, but that spot looks dirty as hell. I'm glad I got the appliqué.

So it really is permenant? Do they use adhesive promoter on the paint when they apply it?

I have it on my car, but not for long. It was installed at port without my knowledge, unfortunately. I dont like the SCION nameplate in back blocky letters across the rear bumper.

I hope you mean ~not~ for long, please let me know how it goes.

Yea, I'm talking to a guy who does the 3M stuff now, and they have that part covered as well in the template (it is available already). If I don't have him do the front of the car, I will either add a clear 3M one, or get this one. I will use my trunk a lot so better safe than sorry.

Hey! civicdrivr says it comes off! Hopefully you can get yours off without paying for it (i.e. have the dealer remove it!).

Wait, so it comes off? How easily? I figure it's just vinyl since it's a $69 install option. Since the lettering is Silver I likely won't notice it as much on my Argento car, but I saw the inventory for my area and like 75% of the cars are getting it regardless. So I'm just accepting this and moving on with my life if I want the car now instead of later. :B

When i worked Toyota they would give use PLASTIC razors to get a corner up then it would just peel off with a lil muscle then if any glue was leftover would use paint safe glue remover. After that you could never tell it ever had 1.
