Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I remember an after market part to attach to under the front bumper, boomerang shaped metal piece. I have had the 25 years so it might of been long ago. Is this ringing a bell, are they still available? DCM

POST 3Original post

Performance Products made them years ago, not sure the company even still exists.

Understand they are really efficient ensuring the entire bumper cover rips off in one clean motion when any edge gets snagged . . . YMMV but personally would avoid. Good luck

POST 5Original post

I bought and installed a used boomerang guard several years ago and really like it. I think that the 'rip away' worry is a bit overstated. I can snap and post a picture of mine here next week if anyone who has never seen one wishes to do so. DM

POST 7Original post

Turns out that I took some snaps during the installation years ago. You will recall that I mentioned that I had bought it used, so scratches courtesy of previous owner:

POST 8Original post

Forgive me, I can’t see what the benefits of that are supposed to be.

POST 10Original post

Quotes source post: 670424

Every scratch on the boomerang means one less scratch on the underside of the bumper cover.

POST 11Original post

I do understand the principle, but what harm does a scratch on the bumper do? Besides, the scratches remain invisible. At some point, a refurbishment will be needed anyway, as stone chips also leave their mark. Nobody would think of bolting metal plates onto it here either. But I don’t want to go into that any further here ;-)
