Thumbs up

I have seen a rear bumper protector for a 5 series in a mag or something. Does anyone recall seeing it? I have googled it. It would work fine with my black paint. This is a pic of one for a Corolla

Have someone that does clear bra cut a piece for it. It'll look much better than that back plastic.

Yah, I believe there is an clear one that goes where that black piece goes. I personally think an clear one would look better then that black one you've posted.

The Forum has spoken ... .. Don't do it!!

Load your car carefully, if you really have to risk dragging stuff into or out of your trunk keep an old towel handy and protect your bumper with it.

Ya! Why would you go with the black when they're clear??? Its practically invisible with the clear trust me.

And not to mention for $90!!!!!!! they'll prob do a clear piece for less than that!
