Bushwacker Rear Bumper Protector

I just started working at a new company, and it turns out they manufacture a host of rear bumper protectors, including one for the Yaris, so I figured I'd share.



The protector is thick and durable. It's made by Bushwacker, and is made in the USA right here in Portland, OR. It adheres with tape; installs in seconds.

I saw this in person last weekend and it looks very good and durable. I like how it curves over to protect the bumper better than the OEM version for 2007.

One thing to look into: I had one that looked exactly like that a few years back and the thing faded to gray inside of 6 months. I don't know that it was bushwacker but it did match that picture exactly.

These have a limited lifetime warranty and are 100% UV protected to resist against chalking.

Hmmmm... this looks better than the OEM protector because it hangs over and protects the edge. I'm glad I procrastinated about installing the OEM piece. Something to think about...

Edit: I see that is one of their selling points...

In all honesty, it's very durable.
