i dont know..maybe its just in the northeast...but for the past 2 mths i`ve been seeing these ugly rubber things that have self-adheive tape on the back...you tape them to your back bumper and i guess in theory they protect you from getting a bad scratch/chip.....i first saw them on taxis...now i see them even on Lexus`....no matter what color they have...even black on a super black car...they dont look right and take away from the overall beauty of the car..IMHO....i wish i had a picture....some people put like 5-6 of them back there...and in the front too....the funniest thing is that wherever they dont put them...thats where i see all paint chips etc....like right in the middle...guess they think well why be careful backing up..i have the little $10 gizmo....
ps...if anybodu here has them im sorry...i said IMHO and ive moved all my $ to an off-shore account ...

Here in the Ozarks we just buy squirrel-smashin` deer-bashin` driving machines (SUV`s and pickups) and ram anything that moves. Usually it is softer and weaker than our bumper or grill.

Like CyberCowboy we have brush guards here. Big and rugged for mashing things in our way. Like trees, brush and small animals! LOL

Never seen those before in life, but I believe the new Porsche 966s have them standard on the front bumpers.
