Default Bumper Protection

Hey everyone, so I'm sick and tired of parking my beauty in parking lots and coming out to see my front bumper scuffed in the corners.

Granted it is a work truck, but it is my personal vehicle as well. I have this problem on both sides..

if i spend the money to repaint my bumper i want to avoid this happening again.

What are my options?

I doubt there is much you can do about it other than just park the truck well away from other vehicles whenever possible. I am always very selective where I park my vehicles.

43 years of parking in parking lots and I've never had anyone scrape my bumpers like that. Plenty of a-holes throwing their door opening and dinging the door....

New bumper made of 8 or 10 inch channel will let them know they hit you

A zombie apocalypse bumper would survive those vicious soccer moms! That or any off-road armor bumper would make them think twice. Personally, I say prepare in advance for the apocalypse, better safe than sorry, lol.

Otherwise, they make grille guards like the Westin HDX that seem to stick out and are made of some pretty durable material.

exs car came home lookin like that all the time, she worked in a mall. Told her to start parking in the spot next to the grocery cart rack, these little bumps and bruises stopped. It would appear people avoid the grocery rack parking spots like the plague
WAS ALL GOOD UNTIL THE PUTZ HIT THE CART RACK HERSELF....LOL

im about to put 3" spikes sticking out from the corners. That should teach em

I live in a predominantly Asian neighbourhood and they are terrible drivers. Let's put it this way, riding my Harley I was almost side swiped about a dozen times
