RE Bumper Guard for FDs
I have been meaning to post this picture for months, but I kept forgetting.
It's a Rotary Extreme Bumper Guard that Chuck made a while ago. It's made out of Carbon Fiber and is very high quality. It fits the rear contours perfectly and I am very happy with it. It's a nice piece overall.

I'm confused. What does the bumper guard do? Instead of getting exhaust on our bumper, we now get exhaust on the bumper guard that is riveted into our bumper and doesn't match?
Is there something I'm overlooking, such as actual damage by the exhaust to stock paint/bumpers?

It's Carbon Fiber.... duh!!!
Everything is better when it's carbon fiber
I admit it looks cool, but not worth it IMO. I can just wide the black crap off my bumper with a towel and not have rivet holes in my bumper.

i agree it is very well made...but now instead of having a black mark we can remove with a towel its a black mark riveted into our bumper. Its one of those things where i just see a lot of better ways to spend the money.

I am not a fan of this thing honestly. I never say this but I think it looks a little like rice. sorry

I doubt all that will come off.

Yeah it looks purty good, and seems like a good way to save a lot of future headaches, but it doesn't look like you had that big of a problem to begin with... r' I think.
