What are my options for SERIOUSLY protecting by front grille and real bumper? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Have an '09 Yaris 4 door sedan and moved to a neighborhood that is putting a severe beating on my car.

Rear bumper is covered in scratches and scrapes and the front grill is already cracked which also caused hairline cracks in the paint surrounding it.

Virtually all of this is coming from other drivers when parking. This is a densely populated area where the only spots are parallel parking and people are constantly bashing their way in and out of spaces. No matter how careful I am, it is absolutely inevitable that both the front and rear are going to continue getting hammered.

Moving or renting garage space is completely out of the question.

So before I get the repairs and repainting done I need to have a protection plan or I'm just going to have to do it all over again in 6 months.

Can anyone recommend products that offer serious front and rear protection?

I'm open to anything from things that adhere to or replace the bumpers to a full on nudge/bull bar type solution. Just not those dumb bumper bully things for the back please. :)
