    We're thinking of ordering the heavy black bumper protector for our new 2016 v from the Prius Chat store. Anyone have any experience with this item? Any helpful hints will be much appreciated. Neither one of us have installed something like this. Thanks

    Do a careful layout and mark the bumper with tape before removing the peel from the protector. Once it sticks it is staying put. IOW get it right the first time.

    Thanks everyone. I think I will order one from the store and give the installation a try. Love the site. Gotta support it. It's such a great resource.

    You can't buy the black ABS protector from a dealer in the USA.
