Atre those the black stripps that are ridged, maybe 6" X 8", people put them on the corners of the bumpers. If they are they are nasty.

I agree the ribbed black one's are nasty.

But these ones were on a white accord 7th gen and were white/chrome.

Take a look at the new E series benz, they looked just like that.

Here...look at the front bumper on this...

If you look at the benz, those same guards are on the side of the car and on the rear of the car, match exectly, and look factory. IMO sticking $20 plastic pieces to the front look like you stuck $20 pieces of garbage plastic to an otherwise nice car. don't do it they all look cheesy

Hmm, let's see. Put on these bumper guards permanently and ruin the beauty of my car, or just fix the bumper when it gets scuffed/scratched?

I think I'll just fix it when it gets damaged. That's what a bumper is for. It bumps. No need to put guards on a bumper.
