Bumper guards....I see alot of TL's and CL's w/ them. The funny thing is we always see them on bumpers that have been severely scratched/gashed allready like their trying to prevent more.

When I was in Korea in 95 most of the cars there had them on the front and the back.

Definately ugly.

I saw a white 1st gen CL with those things in black, minus the chrome trim. It looked like the things they put on the sides of ferry boats.
What a horrible, horrible thing to do to a car.

It almost reminds me of the deco strip on the bumpers of early porsche 911's.

I never understood why they were on taxis though. Those cars get so mess up.
