I noticed that the top of the bumper is starting to get scratches from luggage and ski equipment. Even though that area is waxed well I we tried to keep items off it. The RX300 put a rubber mat on top of the bumper in our Model year 01' - I may look at purchasing one to see how it looks on the car (I had to replace that strip last year as ours cracked after nine years)

Audi has a clear strip you can put on. I have it but have not intalled it yet. You can also do a rear bumper wrap with a clear film like they do on front bumpers. If do the whole bumper it would be hard to tell and offer some protection.

Do the whole bumper in clear bra material. I used the Audi strip and even tho it works it seems to be a dirt magnet also.

Put "Audi" clear strip on mine and it works perfectly.

I did the same thing, and it works well...dog jumping in and out, boxes, groceries, etc...

I do wish I could have purchased a metal one that matched the aluminum trim and actually went over the bumper lip alittle... Had it on my Murano, and it was stylish and functional...eh well

I had to remove my clear strip after a year. It became yellow and obvious, not sure why, I assume from road salt, UV light and car washing.

Someone once posted a picture of a chrome protecting strip that covers the lip of the bumper as well. Might be worthwhile to search for that . . .

I have a blanket that I keep in the back and I simply let it hang down over the bumper anything I am loading or unloading anything.

i found a seller in germany that sells the stainless steel one.

I've been looking for a solution to this too. The 3M clear just doesn't cut it. Rubber, Silicone, or Aluminum would be best.

Thanks for the info! I tried to place an order at jms-fahrzeugteile.de, but they are not quoting shipping costs to US even at the last step. Kinda scared to place the order because I don't want any surprises on shipping, like almost the same as the item itself...
