    Rear bumper protector

    So on my search of things to add to my car I noticed the Mirage for 14-15 has an optional rear bumper guard. It's part number MZ314777. However, it says that it's only for the 14 and 15. The later ones don't have one listed. Anyone install one on their later Mirage? I put these on all my Yarii and my Corollas to prevent damage and I'd like one for the Mirage as well.

    Check photos. Mitsubishi made some subtle changes to the Mirage bumpers that make the 2017 and up different from the 2015 and older.

    Gambled on it... And lost. Doesn't fit right on the edges. It's possible if you cut the corners a little that it would fit right but... Dammit... $55 lost.

    Yes score another one for the 2014 -2015s batch! The rare ding packages that are on some of the 2014s, including mine, and the cool scruff plate! Fummins, I think also mentioned the 2014 - 2015 has a more durable exhaust system, less likely to wrattle. Haha! Now I dont feel so in adequate........





    except for when I take off my underwear. Oy Vey!

    Ditto. I have two towbars. One has a really rusty 2 5/16" ball. Not a popular size and dear lord, it really is rusty.

    Hey Dodge, condolences for Bert. It's heartbreaking, we've all been there.

    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    Well, it sucks because I don't need inconsiderate assholes scratching the hell out of my rear bumper... so I have to think of something else now. I'll honestly probably try cutting off the corners a bit on the bumper guard so it will fit... it's useless anyway at this point haha
