    I was walking around my neighborhood here in SF and noticed one of my neighbors has these 4 rubber type stoppers attached via the screws in his front license plate holder. They kinda look like smaller more tube shaped roller skate stoppers. Does anyone know where to find these?

    I just got my 07 touring Prius and some valet parker scratched my days old front bumper already, sigh...

    Thanks.

    Yet another story that supports passing on the Valet.....I never let them touch anything of mine. If I happen to be in a rental or some other type of loaner car fine.

    Darn, I must be old as dirt. The first thing that popped into my mind when I read the title of this thread was "RUBBER BABY BUGGY BUMPER". Whatever.

    I can't relate to what you saw, but I think SigmaAutomotive.com used to have some bumper strips for this purpose. So why don't you just ask your neighbor? And take a pic!

    Rather expensive, but here is one source:

    I was thinking of getting a pair because i'm thinking of moving to San Francisco.

    BTW, because of its low shipping charge, GirlsLoveWheels.com sells these for a lower out-the-door price of $12.90 ($9.95 + $2.95 shipping) versus CarBumper.com's out-the-door price of $16.53 ($8.98 + $7.55 shipping). They come in clear or black.
