Are you looking for the stock one? If yes, you can find them on EBay.

You can buy the OEM one fairly cheap. I made my own using bed liner material. It worked pretty well but it got air bubbles so now I have to redo it.

I am wanting to protect the rear bumper from scrapes and scratches caused by loading and unloading freight. The OEM part seems pricey and does not cover the part that gets scraped.

I am thinking maybe some sort of film or plastdip, any ideas?

For donbrew and a few others.......

I'm currently working on an fabric apron that tucks into under the rear storage lid that will fold out and drape the rear bumper when loading and unloading. I've experienced the scratch problem when loading and unloading heavy luggage, etc.

Really not my idea. Cadillac has an extra cost accessory that actually does this. But it is made for the Cadillac "trunk" and does not fit well.

Just an idea for others.

Oh, and I do have the stock bumper protector....which provides SOME protection.

Yeah, I used a piece of carpet remnant tucked into the floor gap for a while. But, it was too much to remember. I am considering a piece of Ventureshield 12" X 32", not looking for good looks, just removable cheap functionality. The old 2008 bumper got really scratched up, I'd like to keep the new one a bit cleaner.
