Best Way to Keep my Bumper Protected??

well i live in nyc and unfortunately i park on the streets with my NBH 04 TL and i wanna keep my bumper mainly the corners front and back free from scratches and stupid people who dont know how to park from scratching it, I was reading on about the 3M scotch gaurd film how well does tht work and i hear its expensive to get done? or should i get bumper gaurds but that'l make it look ugly? feel free to shed some light on me lol.

I think the 3m film is the best. Its only expensive if you have a shop do it. I did mine, its relatively simple just takes patience. You can get a full kit for about $200. If a shop were to install it they would charge you about $700. Thats the best thing to go with IMO.

i thought only 3m authorized dealers do them and they didnt sell them out like that? and how hard is it to put it on i might mess up... that would suck

i like that idea! wish i saw this pic b4 i got the scratches on my bumper already. its ugly, but i think u can put in ur trunk when ur done parking. i wonder if it will attract more damage to the bumper cuz everyone will notice that ur making an extra effort to protect ur bumper, like juss to spite u.

^ HAHAA!

That's a little extreme... it's probably removable though... there should be a feature in cars that has a retractable bumper guard that you can turn on when parked in the city. hmmm... better patent that.
