Please provide your opinion for the best rear bumper protector. (Fit, material, ease of installation, etc.) Where to buy and how much. Thanks in advance!
For US OEM accessory, there is only the clear rear bumper applique. I installed it and it looks cool and I guess it provides some protection against scratching the bumper. Toyota Canada pre-installed all their Prius v with a OEM black bumper protector. But I can't find it in for sale in eBay or online. Most (or all) the black ones sold on ebay are not OEM.
And depends on where you live. SET the southeast distributor installs one on every V they sell on to the dealers. Don't know what SWT does. Buy a car in VA/Md and you don't get it nor the charges for it.
As you know, this one is not an OEM (Toyota) product. Prefer OEM but unable to locate one. Anyone have any luck? And any luck with this 'non-OEM' product on PriusChat Shop?
