I emailed them to inquire about the shipping as I am anxious to purchase as well...I'll report back on estimated costs.

I also just found this stainless steel bumper cover on ebay. I personally prefer the look of the other one, but some may like this one better.

Excellent find - that is exactly what I want. Clear bra will not cut it for me either as it will get gauged by suitcases scraping over the bumper.

My thought of the rubber one that was added to the Lexus RX-300 on the year I bought mine would not do because it has the name Lexus on it (I had forgotten about that). The RX300 from year 00' and earlier had scratched bumpers.

edit - just ordered one

Please post your experience on the Chinese one. Does it conform to the surface of the bumper. Does it collect dirt easily around the edges? Does it scratch easy etc?

Well I will post pictures - it looks like it installs the same as the one I had on the Lexus. Even if the SS scratches - I can live with the cover getting scratched vs the bumper itself.

Too bad the ebay one says sline. I don't want to be a poser.
I might email and ask if he can make one sans the logo.

Good luck with that. The seller doesn't make this. Some factory in China knock out hundreds if not thousands of these at a time. They're sold in many accessory shops in China.

My budddy has a Bumper Badger or Bumper Bully (I am not sure which) velcro'd to the rear carpet and just flips the thing out to protect the bumper when loading and unloading. It can be also serve to protect the rear bumper by adusting the straps so it hangs lower as it was originally designed to do. He rarely parks in public spaces, so the inconvenience of adjusting the straps is worth the effort three or four times year. A cheap solution (under $50).
