gradywhite Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I bought one of the rear bumper protectors from ebay. It installed very easily with three rows of 3M tape. It is thick enough rubber to truly protect the bumper during loading/unloading. I believe the Ford protector is just a thin sticker. The contour of the protector matched the curve of the bumper perfectly. Description= FORD EDGE / MKX BUMPER COVER MOLDING 2007-2008 PREVENTS BUMPER SCRATCHES - Seller= tcmalcom. Price=$44.45 (including shipping). I have attached four photos of the install and one scan of the install directions. GO YELLOWJACKETS!! TO HELL WITH THE UGA DAWGS!

DirectJG Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Looks good! Let me ask.. why do people black out the license plate on pictures? I mean, don't hundreds of people see your plate on the road when you drive? I've always been curious to that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 not bad... still looks kind of thin like the Ford ones are? To bad the ALS savers are not available anymore, those were a bit longer (so more coverage) and definitely thicker and more stout (click my gallery to see mine). "Let me ask.. why do people black out the license plate on pictures? I mean, don't hundreds of people see your plate on the road when you drive?

Thanks Lex. I checked out your bumper saver pic and I really don't think it is any thicker than the one I have. I will try and take a profile photo and post it. Yours is a little longer, but the one I bought does cover the entire width of the actual back opening, so I should be covered. I do think I like the look of the longer one better though.

MKX2007 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Here is the profile view of the bumper saver / protectors that are being sold on ebay currently. That looks about the same thickness as the ones from Ford. My dealer put mine on for no extra charge when I had it there for a couple of other things. They mounted it right out to the crease. Of course, I managed to make a small chip in the paint just outside the protector taking a door out of the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
