After about one month of ding free ownership, I had a shopping cart hit my front bumper, and it left a quarter size dent in the bumper shell.

Just a few weeks ago, I was messing with the nav, and backed into a pallet of construction materials on a jobsite, now I have a foot long scratch and crease in my rear bumper.

I also have a couple door dings where large SUV doors have swung and bashed my doors. The bump strip would have done no good for those dings, as they are all about 3" below the windows.

Guess I can forget having a nice car now. Oh well, it is saving me money and wear and tear on my truck.
