That sh*t'll make your G37 look like it rides the short bus to school.

Don't be a cheapo just clear bra it.

ClearBra for sure; there's a really large piece available (but make sure your installer has access to it) for the rear bumper and every installer will give good coverage in the front...otherwise you'll be ridiculed and derided everywhere you go, IMO...Good luck!

i don't think this guy has any trouble driving around and not hitting stuff. i think his problem is that he doesn't want his bumpers marred up by retards doing the bump and shuffle when they parallel park behind him. also, i believe the bumper bully sits in the trunk until the car is parked and then, and then is hung over the rear bumper to keep it from gettig gouged by a front tag on some car that is parking.

my honest opinion is that you are going to get sick of putting that thing on and off each time you park.

I like using concrete/patio spray hardner on my bumpers and have so for years. It makes them 10xs stronger and shinyer.























JK I would try a clear bra if it is within the budget but they are pricey so I can understand if you dont want to do that.

Clear bra doesn't protect your bumper from idiot parkers, which is what he's concerned with. If you live downtown, parking can be real tight, & there are some idiots who are pretty careless with parallel parking. It's not too uncommon for a someone to hit a car while parking, then take off (or try to).

if you feel its necessary do it considering its cheaper than re doing your paint after its scratched off by some idiot who doesnt care about his car or anyone elses

just dont be the idiot that has it out while driving.... also know your cars still going to get dents if hit hard enough

i have two bumper bully's one in the back and one in the front, I open the hood and place the two straps to the side and close the hood, works great. BTW i dont drive with it on, only when I park, although I wish I did when this chick tapped me in the rear no homo in traffic the other day. no real damage, just a ding, you cant really see it but I know its there thats what sucks

Man that sounds like a lot of work putting on the two bumper bully's. I don't think I'm ready for such a commitment I park in garage at home, parking lot at work and only in the streets on when going out on the town or driving somewhere. I guess I'll just deal with the dings when I get them. Hell in 23 months I'll have a new car to ding up.
