The Magic Bumper - Bumper Protector

Anyone ever try this out?

http://www.taurinlorenz.com/Products.html

I saw it on an Audi Q5 this morning and it looked very sleek and relatively attractive as far as bumper protectors are concerned.

I do ALOT of parking in brooklyn where spots get very tight and most people don't give a shit and opt for the "bumper car" parking method. This looks like a good idea for protection.

Thoughts...

Do you have a link to that?

My previous car got hit 3 times in a year so i'm looking for something to protect the X3.

The problem is that alot of them are way over the top. Built for large SUV's or pick up trucks. I wanted something with a low profile because the bulkier it is, the more space I lose when it comes to parking.

Thats exactly what i'm looking for. Maybe i'll just make something myself. My dad has a welder, i'll make it a weekend project and just paint it black.

Ideally, I would like what I posted int he first link but have it as metal tubing instead of padding. That would be perfect.

the tube doesnt have to be thick, it can be slim. it just to protect the bumpers while the car is parked..not for impact on accident.. a single bar going along the black trim of the bumber so it can blend in..same thing for the front bumper.

I have the bumper bully. I too live in Brooklyn but take the train in and I avoid parking in tight spots at all cost. I had the bumpshox to protect the front but it got in the way of the PDC so I took it off.
