    I brought my 2006 Prius in for its first oil change today, and while at the dealer, ordered the bumper protector. The parts guy said it only comes in transparent, no colors. For some reason, I thot it came in black. Has anyone heard differently? Thanx.

    The Prius bumper protector is actually a bumper appliqué. I suggest you cancel the order. If you looking for the black rubber one, it's from the Corolla/Matrix.

    you can see the black protector on mine in this picture: http://priuschat.com/index.php?act=module&...y&cmd=si&img=27

    i used to have a good shot of it, but somehow it got lost in the whole posting-to-new-photo-gallery-software thing. that one is listed for the corolla/matrix. the applique is a thicker, glorified sticker... :mellow:

    Thanx, I appreciate the photo. Do you think it will look good on a Super White Prius??

    I just put a black one on my car, no photo yet. I got it off E-Bay. The protector itself was labeled as being for a Corolla. It fit just fine. It is also cheaper. I bet there are lots of photos with the black protector on the car. Mine looks fine, not as sporty perhaps but just fine.

    I just bought a black one using ebay. Total with shipping and insurance was $34.24. The same one is for sale right now.

    I just bought one from my Toyota dealer for $25.07 including tax. It is labeled 04 Prius bumper protection and is part number 00016-47015. Fits 04 to 06. Turn it over and it is labeled Corolla. Black only and looks fine on a super white Prius.

    I think the black one will stick out like a sore thumb on the white Prius. It is thicker, though. And compared to the $52 my dealer charges for the clear applique, it's cheaper. But on white the clear one would look better.

    I just bot that very same Weathertec cargo tray two weeks ago. I love it. Has a great look and feel to it.
