    What a find. the chrome one that I have and plasti-coated black does not hold up well to dog toenails and golf club heads. I bought one of these.

    I wonder if they would market something similar for the side door thresholds?

    By the way I bought this before so every time I bought something with double sided tape I use this one instead, even the visor on my windows I use this 3m tape and throw away the one that it came with. But I always heat it up with hair blow dryer for proper adhesion.

    I got my $5.00 bumper guard in the mail. Good quality rubber. laid it flat in the sun to get it to lay flat - and then installed it. Only issue is that it overhangs (too wide by .25 on an inch) the surface for a few inches right in the center. I am happy none-the-less.

    Just a HEADS UP! DONT INSTALL THIS GUARD! it creates bubbles beneath it and discolors the car.
    My bumper paint is damaged beyond repair because water accumulated beneath the guard even though I used 3m automotive adhesive and applied it on the four sides of the guard and still got damaged:
    Look at the product reviews here
    and look for the guy with the bubbles, exactly this thing happened to me.
    again this is from personal experience, and since I found it here I just wanted to give a heads up

    My plan, and I've already bought it in the appropriate color, is automotive vinyl wrap. Just haven't got around to installing it yet.

    Amazon links are blanked out by ad blockers here. If you turn it off temporarily, you'll see the link. Kinda frustrating.
