Rear Bumper Protector

You don't need to bother w/ Toyota..it's in the PC Store....

2010 Prius Accessories : PriusChat Shop

It's worth it, IMO............

 

Agreed PC Shop is worth it, but if shipping to Hawaii is too expensive through them, I believe the part number is 00016-47040.

Hi Alan,

Not sure if this will help, but it's listed as BP3 on my Toyota invoice. Good luck!

I need some protection for the top few inches on rear bumper. Dragging out wheel chair I am too weak to lift clear of bumper. Any ideas?

 

Is there a protector for top of rear bumper. Draging out wheel chair will scratch it Too frail to lift clear.

 

I think that's what they are talking about in this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong.

We were out driving the prius today and came up behind another. I don't my my prius's well enough to know for sure what year it was, looked recent. It had a rubber looking protector on the top of the bumper.

Speaking of bumper protectors, my "05 Owner Rewards Package" includes a "Rear Bumper Protector" which the salesman said was a plastic film. What good can that do? Also on aur window sticker is a "YZ Rear Bumper Protector Delete". I presume this refers to the real bumper protector. It took $85 off the price.

 

The plastic film one is actually reasonably tough - it looked to me like it would protect from your occasional scuff or scratch. But if you are frequently loading heavy, bulky stuff, like a wheelchair or hockey gear (yes, ice hockey, I do live in the northeast after all ), the rubber/plastic one is definitely the way to go.

 

Here's the heavy duty one, works well. It's ribbed and covers the top surface.

 

I would like a brished aluminum one perhaps.

I didn't get one, felt I didn't need it. I'm careful. However on my last trip while parking at the airport, someone else must have rested their suitcase on my bumper??? We only had one small bag and I never drag anything out of the hatch but when I got back from my trip there is a series of black scratches that looks like something has slid on my bumper.

I'll probably be able to rub these out, but I will be looking for something attractive that protects the bumper.

 

I think there is a carpet one that would be better for draging something over the bumper and out of the hatch area. It has a carpet flap to flip over the bumper, you flip it in before closing the hatch. Now I need to find it.

Scuff Guard
This smart neoprene mat helps protect the paintwork around your Prius' rear bumper. It lies flat in the cargo area secured by a Velcro strip while driving. When it comes to loading or unloading simply fold it out over the bumper to prevent scratches.

Might be Australia only accessory, I don't know.

 

I like the flap. If I had a "do over" I'd get Pat's flap & the rubber strip.

 

You can get this from Japan. Sigma has it for $155 plus shipping.

I noticed the Rear Bumper Aplique on this page comes with the Prius Logo on it. We are supposed to have the applique or film on our bumper. Is it supposed to have the logo, because our doesn't? It least I don't think so, will double check when the wifey brings the car home.

 

The photo appears to be the one for Gen II (note the badging) - it is definitely different from the PriusChat store version (ribs are side-to-side instead of front-to-back.)

Is the PriusChat Gen III version an actual Toyota part, or aftermarket?
