    Just in principle, this really bugs me. We need bumper protectors for our bumpers? Unfortunately true :(

    Of course, you can always go for the truly hideous...

    I guess my main concern would be whether the bumper protector itself would scrape against the bumper and cause scratches... Maybe I should just go with rubber.

    I'd be afraid of the stainless steel getting scratched. Can you get a bumper protector protector?

    Yes, a rubber bumper protector one would stick to it and become a bumper protector protector..

    I stuck that protector from hensun(?) on my bumper a couple a days ago.

    Looks nice and fits well.
    It has a black rubber/plastic edge so the protector won't damage the bumper.
