Well, I can be, at times.

No issues with clearance, plenty of gap.

Q7 3M film guard

RGM rear guard

RGM rear guard
What brand and what is it made out of?

Unicorn fluff, I think. Or maybe ABS plastic

I bought here.

Buddy with an ehybrid has a stainless one that matches the inner shield. Don't know where he got it. On my black car this works better.

@luciano136 Holy smoke batman, I just got a UPS tracking update from New German Performance.

Maybe my RGM BumperGuards is on the way, now I have to decide if I actually want to install it or not!

Mine must have come from a prior batch. And yes, you do.

It didn't take long. Just clean thoroughly, mark the center spot and then where you want the two side edges to fall, mark with painter's tape so it's centered.

Dry fit a couple of times before you pull the tape backing off...

Fifteen minutes, including beverage.

Yea, it looks very simple. Fit seems perfect too. Good call on the beverage 😜

Dare I bump this old thread, but here I am seeing how those who ordered the RGM guard like it after three years of ownership.

Mine still looks perfect! Then again, the GTS gets pampered. Rarely spends any time outside.
