fotomoto Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) I didn't really care for any of the options listed in this thread: http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/index.php?/topic/386-rear-bumper-scuff-protection/ so I decided to make my own out of 3M carbon fiber weave vinyl. Got the 1ftx5ft roll and applicator prep solution from ebay for about $25 shipped. I've done this on my previous car and have made a few styling designs for my motorcycles in the past. I marked and cut a template out of paper as a guide before cutting the vinyl. This won't be as durable as a thick rubber pad but it will hold up to a lot of abuse and, IMO, looks nicer.

Jus-A-CMax Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Brilliant fotomoto :) How's the durability, does it fade, scuff easily? I like this solution a lot more...plus it matches my carbon Oakley Haf Jacket with the Red Iridium XLJ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomoto Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 It holds up to our personal day-to-day uses like luggage, band instrument cases, groceries, etc., but wouldn't protect from sharp things that could gouge. That's where a rubber/thick plastic type pad is better. The weave is thick enough that it makes a zipper type sound when you run a fingernail across it. Yes, it would look :camera: "bitchin' brah" with your Oakley gear. :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
