Discount PARKING ARMOR - Ultimate Rear Bumper Protector, Steel Reinforced Straps, Widest Bumper Protection, Thickest Bumper Guard


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.

Cheap Highland 95013 Black Three-Pocket Storage Net


I love this cargo net. We live in the mountains and have to go down the mountain to buy groceries. I used to have food sliding all over the place all the way up the mountain on our way home. When I would open the back of my RAV4, they would fall out of the car at me. This is not good when you have eggs and glass jars, etc. The cargo net holds everything in the place where I put it. I thought I might not be able to fit as many things with the net in place, but the opposite is true. It stretches around my stuff and I can cram even more things in than ever before!Get more detail about Highland 95013 Black Three-Pocket Storage Net.

Buying Thule STL2 Snug-Tite Lock One Key System Locking Hitch Pin


Not much to say about this. It's expensive but after spending the money on two nice mountain bikes and a Thule T2 hitch rack I didn't want to skimp and get something cheap that was not effective. This hitch pin works as advertised. My T2 rack has hardly any sway and I feel confident that no criminals will be getting my rack anytime soon. While pricey it was a good purchase.Get more detail about Thule STL2 Snug-Tite Lock One Key System Locking Hitch Pin.

Order Sylvania DOT-it Self-Adhesive Bright White LED Light, Black


I love these guys, so simple to use and bright: press down to turn "on", press down again for "off". Easy, anyone can do it--hey you can use your nose, your elbow, your head, your chin, your cat's and dog's paw, your knee, etc.,--how convenient is that. Great for kids and people with joint pain. [[HERE a treat: When there is no more battery juice, I peel the sticky back cleanly away, unscrew the three small screws and replace the battery and whoohoo, they are off lighting the way again and again. They are reusable. I don't use the sticky back, but you can easily replace the sticky back tape with some 3M double-sided-sticky-foam-tape (remember to cut out holes for the three screws) and off you go.]] I keep one in the car and several scattered around the house. Batttery life if good for the many times I've used them. Because of the easy push on feature, you should have these lights displayed where you can see them otherwise you can accidentially turn them on. (My learn as you go experience: I accidentally left one of these lights under a seat cushion and the light came on after someone sat on the chair, being that it was dark and we were watching Aliens, well everyone around was a little perturbed by the glowing seat cushion.) Just remember a certain amount of pressure could turn them on. Get more detail about Sylvania DOT-it Self-Adhesive Bright White LED Light, Black.
