Though most of the hits have been at a red light, it was well.worth the cost.

I had since wrapped the center with a 4" wide strip of rubber which somewhat protects the front end of vehicle #2... and, though not 100% protective of my rear end, it sure serves the purpose of what it was designed for since I also use it as a step in checking out and washing the rear of the roof.

I ordered a lock from Amazon which they did not have in stock and they sent me something that was about 2X the cost at no additional charge... and I shimmed in the bumper guard with slivers of plastic strapping where it is a solid fit.
