Matrix rear bumper protector for XB?
I really like the looks of these much better then the holey, flimsy looking Scion protector.

But it looks like the Matrix bumper does not have as much curvature as the Scion.
Does anyone know how this might fit?
I'm going to see if a local dealer might have one in stock for a look see.

I think it depends on the material...it looks like rubber to me but I cant tell how flexible it is by a pic alone. Two ideas:
-Try a matrix forum. Im sure you could find out all about it there.
- Find one on the street and inspect it up close. I know they are quite common around here.
If you find anything out, please, post it here!

It's rubber, and thick, not useless like the one scion provides. The bumper on the matrix is deeper but because of how it curves up, the actual material is shorter. In sum, it'll probably be work.
The only issue I had with it was it didn't stick quite as well as I would've liked. It was loose at the edges right before the car got wrecked.

Thanks for your responses...
I think the problem might be that the Matrix bumper is almost straight left to right while the xB bumper has more of an outward curve toward in the middle.
Probably wouldn't look too good if the protector ran straight across the bumper instead of following the curve.
Bummer.
