Looking to get a front and rear bumper guard for an 04 srx but have not been able to find any? let me know if you know where i can find one and if anyone has pics of theirs please post them


Thanks

Vincent, no answer for you , other than I seem to recall the dealer offers somehting lame I think, but where in MI are you?

Hmmmmmm. not sure what yout talkn' bout?
rear fascia protector?
Frt/RR tape on fascia extensions?

i am in lansing for another week or so and then moving back to NY, the wife hit a snow back and did over 2500 worth of damage so i was looking for something substantial to protect the front end.

this is all I have ever seen for a brushguard. Doesn't appear that it would help much.
Is this what your talkn' bout?

I was thinking of the crappy stuff GMJIM was referencing in his first post - GM stick on stuff.

Understand, a true push bar or bull bar is usually attached to the frame. In an accident as you described, this can often result in much more damge than without it, as you may have to deal with frame straightening issues. The push bars are not really intended to minimize damage in a crash. Futher, I have heard they can compromise air bag set off efficiency. Lasty, the one I had weighed a ton (maybe 120 pounds - not helpful for gas mileage). I have used mine in the past on my Tahoes for the purpose of pushing vehicles out of the snow. Honestly though, the real reason I got one in the first place was to look tough. They are more form over function.

"crappy" was very polite.

Thank you. The stick on plastic bumber protectors are on par with the fake chrome stick-on door pillars and stick on fender portholes IMO. Oh geez, hope nobody has those either - otherwise I am in for a lashing. Been down that road before with the fake chrome pillar discussion.

From what i understand the collision was not major, approximately 5-10mph but damaged all the internals, (washer tank, fog light assembly, etc) so was hoping to protect the car from these "incidental" collisions, would hate to pay all this $ just to have some one back into the car while parking.

Hard to really judge speed as you are colliding. Regardless, I don't suspect the SRX would have faired better w. a bumper guard - maybe even worse.

I've never seen anything like that!
