I just got a new car and wanted a way to protect my bumper from the dings and scratches that plagued my previous car after years of parallel parking in NY. I had seen these "bumper badgers" and thought that they were ok for scratches but limited in size and didn't look too capable of protecting from bumps and dings. I saw this product on Amazon - for only 10 dollars more - and I took a chance and ordered it.
I am extremely satisfied with this bumper guard. I have an 09 TSX and it fits my bumper perfectly. It has two long straps with velcro that you can stick to your car, or just directly velcro to your carpet - which is what I do. The foam guard folds the long way and stores easily in my trunk when not in use. I put my work bag in the trunk when I drive and take it out when I park, so taking out and replacing the bumper cover is a 10 second operation each time.
As the description says, it's not completely waterproof and I have already gone through some heavy rains where it soaked in the water a bit. After a couple of hours out in the sun, it dried out and there's no smell - which is great. I was a little worried that it would start to stink after getting wet.
Some cool things about this bumper protector:
It has steel wires going through the straps so you don't have to worry about someone using a knife or scissor and stealing it.
Also, the straps are long and they attach a couple feet into the trunk so it is easy to reposition. That way when I park with the curb on my right, I can shift it to the left so that it protects my bumper on the side that cars will be pulling into.
Overall, a great product and if you want something to protect your new car's bumper I would very much recommend this product, especially over the rubber-mat-like bumper protectors.
