Last time I checked they have a clear plastic film that Kia calls a "bumper appliqué"

Called the local Kia parts desk, and they said $60 for a back bumper protector that says "Forte" on it.
I also asked about the cargo tray and it's $78

^thats what I thought I was getting quoted on when I checked. They told me the black one is for the sedan, and the clear one is for the 5 door. Not sure if it's true...

 

[Kevinlane]

hey, AZMX5 are you happy you got the cargomat?
I had one on my Mazda.

I wonder if the clear applique is only option (Kia parts) for bumper guard.
I may have to go aftermarket. Anyone have suggestions?

There is a black applique here in Canada. There is one that says Koup and one that says Forte. I currently have a Koup one sitting in my trunk, not sure if I am going to install it yet.

These appliques go on top of the bumper where the trunk lid meets the bumper.

These appliques go on top of the bumper where the trunk lid meets the bumper.

yep, that's exactly what I'm needing.

Are the ones you have black?

 

[FEARtheFOX]

Yes the one I have is black. It says Koup on the one I have. I will take a pic later tonight for you.

Yes I am very happy with the cargomat. Took awhile in the sun to flatten it out after shipping.

HEy FeartheFox, where did you get your guard ?? I want one for my 5 door ... Nothing here in Florida ... Thanks !

If you're just looking to protect the bumper, you can buy a strip of clear paint-protection film. Shouldn't cost more than $25 for the film. Install is pretty easy.

Here's an online source I trust:

I don't want the clear one, I want the black thick plastic one. I like it better.

 

[AZMX5]

The black one will not fit, just get a universal one and cut it to size. Have you seen the soul cargo guard? It's sweet, try and find one like that.

 

[FEARtheFOX]

By the way this is not a black plastic...it is a thicker rubberized vinyl.
