Parking Protection - Bumper Guards / Hitch Steps


cmantis

Recommended Posts

First post, just purchased a new (to me) 2016 Edge Sport in silver. I work in NYC and am worried about it getting banged up parking on the streets. Looking for ideas/recommendations for front and rear bumper guards or grills. Since i plan to install a tow hitch can probably use a hitch step in the rear. Doesnt seem to be too many options for the 15+ edges and what I can find doesnt seem would look that great. Figured this would be a good place to turn for help...thanks in advance!

This rear hitch step also looks promising:

 

Vanguard Off-Road® VGPDB-1919BK - Double Layer Black Hitch Step for 2" Receivers

Can someone do me a favor with a 15'-17' Edge Sport and measure the distance between the exhaust tips so I can get an idea of how this might fit/look please?

If someone can measure between the exhaust tips would be much appreciated...

 

I just got the call my car is ready and want to get this stuff on order.  The rear hitch step guard comes in two lengths 38" and 48" trying to decide which will look best - Thanks!
