Well, I'll take that as a "no". LOL

 

I would like one of these guards. Has anyone ordered one recently (most of the posts about it are a couple years old). If so, do I have to have a UPS account, or will they just bill my credit card directly? thanks!

In my opinion, that guard doesn't offer as much protection as the one from Southeast Toyota. The Canadian one protects the top, but the one I got from Toyota of Tampa curves over the back lip. I highly recommend it.

The total price including shipping was $71.99. This is the same protector that Deland sells for more. Here's the link:

I'll quote the whole thing...

I've one just like this one since new (optional on my '06 Sport). It fades from exposure to the elements...

I'll bet I've treated it with Armour All a hundred times.

 

Rear bumper guard

Just wanted to let you, goherd know that I've just ordered one at Sparks Toyota. Costs $ 62.09 shipped to California. No tax charged because shipped to address outside of South Carolina. That is exactly the same item with the lip covering the top edge of the bumper even cheaper than on E-Bay!
Here is the link that I found on R4W forum:

I realize this thread is old, but do you know whether this part # is the one that wraps over the edge or not?

 

fwiw--my 09 limited (purchased from toyota of tampa bay coincidentally) came with the cover stock

It's for removing these plastic fasteners:

Just found out the the OEM 2012 bumper cover is cheaper than the 2008 OEM bumper cover.

 

I have one like this but mine seems to be integrated/molded into the bumper, like it's the bumper itself but painted in a finish to make it look like a protector, it's really weird? If it gets scratched it would mean that it can't be replaced. Anyone else with a 2012 have something like mine?

thanks for that!

My Sport SAP looks very much like the "half guard" from your original bumper, except that it also has a protective film over the the rest of it. Did yours also have the film over the rest of the bumper?
I'm thinking I should be able to lay this one right on top of the film; not sure how hard the flim might be to peel off.

 

Yes, definitely lay it over the film!

 

Got it on no problem yesterday...the "half guard" is glued down pretty well too, and since it is only about as thick as the film, I just put the new one over both.
Nice and snug! I really like the way this things fits; I just can't believe I waited so long to do it...

 

Try Aerospace 303. Heard great things about it.
Armour all should only be used for interior trims.

 

Been using Aerospace 303 for years; great product. I use it inside and out - nor ArmorAll for me...

Forever Black is good for faded black trim. Restores back to original colour.

Also heard of Black Wow but never used it.

 

We just bought the Bushwacker 34001 for a 2008 Rav4... and my son snapped off one of the four retaining clips/pins/screws while putting them back in during installation of the new protector (installed over the old one, with the OEM clips).

Does anyone know what I need to buy as a replacement for that broken clip? I am clearly not googling correctly, cannot find the info I need. Thank you for any assistance!

 

I just did a Google search for Bushwacker 34001 and the first hit was Amazon:

Amazon.com: Bushwacker Toyota OE Style Bumper Protector: Automotive

The second hit was the Bushwacker company web site:

Toyota OE Style Bumper Protector - OE Matte Black | 34001 | Bushwacker

If you want the Toyota OEM clips, you would probably need to go to your Toyota dealer's parts department. Bring one of the clips to show them. Alternatively, you may also find similar fasteners at AutoZone or other parts places.

 

you need toyota part #52161-16010 bumper cover push type clip. call the dealer, ask for the parts dept, and give them the part # and ask how much. you can also enter that part number into ebay or amazon also.

 

For the Bushwacker version, the installation instructions show that it's just a peel-n-stick - no clips. What am I missing? Thanks!
