  1. Now that it's been a year, how do these things hold up? Was the extra tape necessary?

    Mine is still holding up very well. As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts in this thread I did use some extra automotive 3M double sided tape. I just doubled up on the existing tape that was already on the bumper protector. This worked out great since the protector has a molded lip all around and it sits on the bumper perfectly.

  2. i did not tried it , after some thought i concluded that it was only a joke ... just to make fun of others. i didn't fell to this prank.

    ooh and he forgot to mention that if you say '' okuspokus '' with a finger in your nose , a magical arm appears and hold the steering wheel for you ... so you can eat your sandwich and root beer while driving.... very neat ..

    May not be a joke. Most Chrysler vehicles that are shipped overseas have power folding mirrors. Here in the states we have to manually fold the mirrors in and out. I noticed he is from

    England, so he may just have the power folding option on the mirrors.

  3. Fronts only?

    Mopar has slush mats too. Do you think these will give better protection?

    The slush mats are just as flat as the regular floor mats. The Husky mats are form fitted with a raised lip all the way around so nothing will spill over on the carpet. If you look at the drivers side pic I posted you will notice that the Husky mat also covers the left side foot rest, which I liked. Keeps everything nice and clean.

    They also offer the rear mats, and cargo area mat.

  4. I really like the way it looks. I saw them on the web last night and wondered how they looked in real life. Thanks for the picture. How bad is the installation? 3M Double sided tape? My wife has a white Journey and I know what you mean about strollers and such.

    Installation took about 10 minutes, mostly prep time. There is 3M tape on the pad but I bought some more and doubled up on it because it did not look thick enough to me.

    You also have to remove 4 plastic push pin fasteners from the bumper itself right under the weather strip. Simply use a flat head screw driver or pair of pliers to pull back the center head of the push pin, then the rest of the push pin comes right out. Here is a pic with the plastic push pins removed

    The included directions are pretty clear. Line up the protector with the holes, I installed the push pins, then remove the backing on the 3m tape. Firmly press in place.

  5. Today I installed the rear bumper protector. My wife likes it now because she doesn't have to worry about scratching the bumper with the kids stroller. It is made by Vmaxx which I found out about here on the forum. Ordered from autoxclusive.com for about $145 delivered. I thought it was a bit pricey but I figured it would cost more to keep repainting the bumper.

    What do you think??
