Are Bumper Guards Useful?
1 Answers
Bumper guards are useful. After installation, in the event of a scrape, they act as the first line of defense for the vehicle. Additionally, they provide a cushioning effect against impacts, thereby offering a certain degree of protection to the car body from scratches or collision damage. There are two types of car bumper guards: patch-style and strip-style. Patch-style bumper guards consist of small adhesive blocks with double-sided tape on one side, typically attached to areas of the door prone to bumps. While this type offers limited protection coverage, it is relatively aesthetically pleasing and can serve as a decorative element. Strip-style bumper guards have a U-shaped cross-section with double-sided tape on the inner side of the U. They are installed by fitting the U-shaped groove onto the edge of the door. This type provides a larger protection area but has a more rudimentary appearance, which may somewhat affect the vehicle's overall aesthetics.
