LOL I thought this was a joke! What's next, a car panel bully? You can put one on every panel and never have to worry about dings. IMO, the best way to avoid the damage is to be aware of where you park. I guess if you're in NY then that's tough luck, as parking is a nightmare. If I lived in NY, I would just drive a beater.

And no, you're not supposed to drive with it on:

(1) Can I drive with the Bumper Bully attached?

No, never operate a vehicle with the Bumper Bully hanging from the bumper. The product may come off while driving causing injury. Return the product to vehicle’s trunk prior to leaving a parking garage. Please read product disclaimer and all instructions before using.

I don't think you drive around with that thing on. After you park, you open your trunk and plop it out.
LOL such a good point...I could totally see people ramming into it just to see if it works.

Dude, it's butt ugly, but i suppose certain part of the country and particularly in the city may offer some (questionable) protection...

Are you guys serious???

If I saw a car with this, I'd tap it on purpose just to see if it works....whoever came up with should be slapped - horrible idea! Just makes your car a bigger target IMO.

I would say if you are that desperate to keep your bumper clean try it but I wonder how much force it can withstand before it cracks your bumper or moves it out of alignment. This would only be good for soft "love taps" haha

A camera is worthless - at least 50% of people out here have no front plates and even if you catch their plate, means nothing - good luck trying to collect on that....
