Yup.. in NYC a ton of cars have them.. they usually have these up front as well and they look fucking goofy

question: would it be obnoxious to use one of those bumper bully rubber pads (https://www.amazon.com/PLATINUM-Bumper-Bully-Impact-Pads/dp/B0013CXCYK) or are bumper scratches just a par for the course for street parking? No one on my street has one, but I've been considering it. I once saw a truck in Fremont whose oner had deliberately turned the edges of his front license plate out as to scratch people (or as a deterrent to keep others from scratching his car), which seemed especially rude.
I see many bumper protectors when I go to NY. http://www.amazon.com/BumpShox-XL-Protection-Ultimate-License/dp/B0041LN1L4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404749254&sr=8-1&keywords=bumper+shox
I personally would just accept that the car drives the same and NYC is a shitty place to park. I would not want to repaint because it will be bumped again.
Could not have designed a more ugly thing to deface a car. Nowadays bumpers are specifically made so a little bump will cost you a $2000 repair bill. I wish rubber bumpers would make a comeback.
A less ugly solution to mitigate bad parallel parkers backing into you: http://www.amazon.com/Plate-Pocket-BumpTek-Extreme-Edition/dp/B00GFR06U6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417183661&sr=8-3&keywords=rubber+license+plate+frame
They make a front-end one too, that attaches to your front plate. Though it obviously doesn't protect much againt angled attacks.
Your best bet is to find end spots, or spots where you can park up close to a curb that juts out in front of/behind your car. Usually city designers leave a good 3-4 feet gap between the end of the "parking spot" and where the curb is; dead space essentially. Pull you car up or back into that dead space to give yourself more room away from the other cars.
get something like this

A Bumper Bully if she has a car and will be living in the city.
I plan on getting Primitive skid plates and an Anderson Designs lift kit in the future.

I just got a new crosstrek, and I did this thing to it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TJCnQ8uLD8
I can't listen to the video I linked to, but it appears to show the same replacement. I'm not sure where they got that part, but I got mine from amazon for $12.
It took me longer to open the package than it took to install this thing.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CIYPUX2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit:
Ok, the video is for a magnetic thing after you install an ecohitch. My link is to a part that just replaces the body colored cover panel, which the video shows something similar to, that works with no additional parts. The point is, it goes from a bland body colored cover to a textured one that looks more appropriate on the car, it costs $12, and it's dead simple to do.
looks like a plate holder to block views from certain angles.
edot:actually i think it is something like this
edit edit: I think this is the exact one.
If you end up getting the EX-L here's how I accessorized:
Scuff plates - I liked the scuff plates in the Touring (which are backlit) so I bought these. Not backlit but look great, really look like a first-party install.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BSQDQH5/
bumper protector - looks sharp and happens to have a similar hexagon pattern to the scuff plates so they look good as a set
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079P88CPT/
fob case - pink for the wife, black for me - the ex-l has seat memory based on the fob you are using, so makes it easy to tell them apart
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DBXC134/
console liners - these are great! cover up every single cupholder and surface in the car
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078MRYNXQ/
screen protector - the screen is so big on the cr-v i think a cover is mandatory
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CVYHZV9/
I also got a custom windshield cover, the side trim, and the splashguards from handa accessories and self-installed them, happy with all of them.
You're good. Of course, you could always park considerately but get one of these.
Well... It's common enough on the East coast they make a silly product to help protect against the effects. I saw em all over the place in NYC.
I've found a big trailer hitch does much the same job in the back, though. Granted, I drive a small pickup, so I can get away with a big trailer hitch. This may not fly on a nice sports coupe. You also can't really put a bull-bar on a sports coupe to protect the front.
It's a stupid thing to do. It's bad for all the cars involved, and it's rude to the other drivers. It's a sign the driver is unable to properly judge the positioning of their car, and it's completely absurd for them to get mad at you over their fuck-up. Stick to your guns, chew out people who hit other cars. If it's your car, ask for their insurance in case there's any damage. It may make the point stick.
Model 3 - Any owners use a front license plate bumper protector? Like this or similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0798KH79M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bg3OBbB9Y99QK
Just wondering if this is compatible with the included front license plate mount. I'm in NY so will need to use the front plate mount, and want to do something to protect her while parked on the street.

Bumper Bully Guard to the rescue, highly recommended:
http://www.amazon.com/GOLD-EDITION-Bumper-Bully-Extreme/dp/B000XEBI9K
Yes.
I see it more in New York, but yeah it’s common in places where folks park on the street. Prevents scrapes and such when someone inevitably gets a little too close. Personally never owned one and I think they’re pretty ugly, but I get the appeal.
Got it here man:

Also I used screws instead of 3m tape because the tape is too weak
It looks like some kind of pad so that the jagoff that parks behind him doesn't scratch his bumper.
edit: Found it!
If there is no mechanical damage, then it looks like just a new hood, grill and maybe a bumper. Id forget fixing the "A" pillar damage, because I highly doubt the cars with the money it would require. If you get the parts and do the work your self, its probably not that bad, but taking it to a shop would be much more costly. Granted, if there isn't any underneath damage.
Hood: $110
Bumper: $67
Aftermarket Grille: $21
Tyger has one on Amazon that isn’t bad. But I hate they’re logo. But the plate would mount right in front of it completely hiding it. Imagine that!

It’s a pretty universal one. The instructions were crap, so I just watched a few YouTube vids to install it correctly. But so far I like it and I think it makes the car look way better.
The one I got is not car specific. You basically clean the bumper and lay some VHB tape, then roll the rubber thing on top of it. Wouldn't exactly recommend as the one I got seems like it is loosing it's stickyness after a month.

All right, I'm glad you effectively admitted you are wrong by switching to attacking the city I live in instead of addressing the fact that you aren't supposed to drive around with the bumper cover on your car.
The best selling brand specifically states in their product description on Amazon That you aren't supposed to drive with their product on the car.
I'm done, but you can't deny you're wrong on this.
Ah didn't know the OEM one was chrome. My car is red and I bought a pretty simple black rubber strip that's adhered with double sided tape.
For your front bumper you could give this a go, however it may not work depending on what height their bumper is when it hits your front. http://www.amazon.com/BumpShox-XL-Protection-Ultimate-License/dp/B0041LN1L4/ref=pd_sim_auto_1
As a Brooklynite, I bought this: Parking Armor from Amazon I measured in between the lights even though I flip it into the trunk whenever I drive.

I'd either tell him you don't care or get one of these to shut him up.
Thanks, got it on Amazon.

Recently went to Manhattan for a wedding, lots of cars had these Bumper Bullies
Would this work?

I have this on my front bumper. I refuse to look like a dork with a bumper bully on the back though so I just deal with the scratches there.

but there are also vehicle specific ones that cost like 3-5x as much.
All over up there people have shit like this, bumper mat, and they just back up till they hit you then go forward and repeat...

Would work on the front for sure if you have to have a front plate. Depending on the car would help on the back as well.
I bought some rubber frames off of Amazon, found here. Actually adds some protection if your front bumper doesn't have a recessed area to mount your plates like mine does.
If you’ve ever lived in a city, there’s a three bump rule as long as there is no damage. Everyone knows that. That’s why they make these.
It says that it comes primered. This wasn't where I bought it, but it's the same as this one.
Thought about getting one of these:.

I've noticed a fair number of cars with bumper protectors in Boston, NYC, and DC before while travelling. I haven't noticed them in the west coast or midwest as much, but that could be statistical noise.
I just got this bull bar
In Canada we have to have front and back license plates and that has plate holder screws in the front. I also have a light bar on it, I'll be installing it this weekend if the weather holds up along with fog lights to replace the blanks, pictures to follow.
